Wonderfully You: An Ode to Adoption - Paperback

by Tom Tracy (Author), Beatriz Mello (Illustrator)

A Kids Book Celebrating Adoption

Fans of Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, and Nancy Tillman's, On the Night You Were Born, will find their hearts captured again by the loving message and engaging prose in Wonderfully You.

Join them as they move through the adoption journey and experience:

• the hopefulness that accompanies the decision to adopt,
• the anticipation that comes with preparing for a new child,
• the uncertainty of "the wait,"
• the urgency felt in receiving the "birth call,"
• the deep appreciation for the decision made by birth parents,
• the elation of holding your child for the first time,
• the sense of family completeness as a result of the adoption process,
• and ultimately, the moments that fill parents with joy and pride in nurturing your child's growth and development.

Wonderfully You is a love note to children who've been adopted. This heartfelt story showcases transracial adoption through melodic rhyming narrative, which is complemented by beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations. Personal connection to adoption isn't necessary to feel the warmth and love that is the central message of this book. It is a perfect read-along for kids, grandkids, classrooms, those touched by adoption, and individuals looking for books that portray diverse families.
