Customer Reviews

One of our favorite books!

My two year old's Must Read nightly book! Adopted from foster care in 2008 (along with his brother and sister), I add a few words here and there, such as "you needed a safe home" instead of "you needed a home" and he sits and nods his head in agreement throughout. I love the repeated theme of you needed...we had...now we're to help him comprehend the idea that we are building a family out of a group of individuals.

We Belong Together

We just adopted 3 siblings...ages 6, 5, & 4. This book as well as the other Todd Parr books we've purchased are fantastic! They've opened all sorts of discussions with each new page. I find our kids repeating lines from the books. I also highly recommend "It's Okay to be Different" and "The Family Book". Even if you have biological children, they are all great tools for communicating positive ideas and feelings to your children.

Paperwork Pregnant and loving this book!

This is a fabulous book! It was a present from a friend when we started our adoption paperwork and since then I've shared it with a social worker friend who has 2 adopted grade school girls and they loved it and approved of it! Great, Great book! This is also fabulous since it has all different colors of parents, kids and dogs as well as all mom/mom, dad/mom, dad/dad and older parent pictures!

Great for kids

I read this book to my son, adopted from Russia at age 3. I felt the message was very appropriate, simple to read, and conveyed how much all of us need each other.

Family Book

This book is perfect for all families. It's not just about adoption, but about being loved and accepted into any family. As an adopted child, I relate to Todd Parr's words of love and being included in my family and the life they have given me to find myself and my own identity.
