51LYPIyatIL__SX258_PJlook-inside-v2,TopRight,1,0_SH20_BO1,204,203,200_ An award-winning  book about adoption that celebrates the blessing of family and addresses the difficult issues as well. With exuberant illustrations and a diverse representation of families, ABC, Adoption & Me deepens understanding of what it means to be an adoptive family. It provides talking points that bring families closer, and presents adoption as a safe topic. Kids report that ABC, Adoption & Me expresses their complicated feelings in a way that makes them feel normal and which makes it easy for them to discuss with their families. "Most adoption books only talk about the good part of adoption. ABC shows adoption from the kid's side." Includes a parent guide.

Named a Favorite Read of 2013 by Adoptive Families, the award-winning national adoption magazine and leading adoption information source for families before, during, and after adoption. 

Named a Notable Picture Book for 2013 by Shelf Unbound in their December/January 2014 issue.

Earned an Honorable Mention from the Gittle List of 2013

"Adoptive Families Magazine" named it a Favorite Read of 2013 and it has garnered several other awards as well. I hope all adoptive families will make this a part of their family library. Posted by: Robin E. Sizemore, Executive Director, Hopscotch Adoptions, Inc
