When her younger sister teases her about being "made in China," a young girl, who was adopted from China, speaks to her father about what it means to be adopted and he reassures her that she is special and loved.
Reviews with the most likes.
A little girl is told by her sister that she was “made in China” like toys and clothes. Naturally, she seeks out her father to set the record straight.
I really liked this story. It was easy to read and to understand and most of all the feelings it tried to provoke radiated off the pages. I think the words the little girl's father used to explain adoption and what she meant to their family were pretty perfect.
I do think that the sister's behavior should have been addressed. It was ugly and unacceptable. This took away from the book that, per the synopsis, was meant to address adoption as well as sibling relations.
Overall, great conversation starter but as a parent, be prepared to add more to it than what was written.
