When You Were Born in Vietnam by Therese Bartlett (ages 6-teens). Photo essay. -
Through Moon and Stars and Night Skies by Ann Turner. "Let me tell the story this time, Momma," says a 4-5 year old Asian boy. "Once I was a picture you held in your hand," he begins, and tells how he "flew through night and moon and stars" to his new home. He was frightened on the plane ride but held tight to the picture of his new family. When he arrived, his parents welcomed him at the airport with open arms. Although this book was more a reflection of older style international adoptions where the child was escorted rather than the parents traveling to bring the child home, it is still a sweet tale and was one of my family’s favorites. The country is not specified, but looks east Asian and is probably Vietnam. |
