This is a book about adoption written by Marianne Richmond. I feel this is a diverse book to introduce to students. Teachers will have students in their class that are adopted and know about their adoption. It would be nice for a child to see a book that represents something they can relate to. I believe just by having a book like this in a classroom it helps the adoptive student be included in the class. This book also teaches the non adopted children in the class about adoption.
Marianne Richmond Studios opened in 1991. The company was originally a greeting card company and now has evolved into a publishing company. Marianne takes her personal experiences in life and turns them into books. Marianne lives in Minneapolis, MN with her husband, 4 kids, and dog.
A subject like adoption is a neat way to talk about how everyone's family is different. Students can realize that just because they have a mom and dad, not everyone in class has both mom and dad.
