ADOPTION
Over The Moon: An Adoption Tale
By Karen Katz
Why We Love It: The cover art and illustrations throughout are whimsical, bright, and bold, completely drawing in parents and kids alike. The text flows beautifully with the graphics, explaining that a couple wanted a baby very badly and would travel a great distance to make their dream of a complete and happy family come true. “You grew like a flower in another woman’s belly,” sets the light-hearted tone of this read. This is an ideal book to begin a discussion of adoption with a young child because it doesn’t get weighed down with the notion and complication of birth parents and their inability to care for the child—instead, it offers an easy, magical explanation to the child and works as a springboard for future discussions that will evolve as the child grows older and is able to better understand the idea of a birth mom and the adoption process.
