Captures the anticipation of a little boy who can't wait to become a brother!

Waiting for May - Children's Story About Adoption

Drawn from the Book Description In this sweetly and heartfelt book, a brother-to-be anticipates the arrival of his new baby sister. She is coming from China to be adopted into his American family.The story describes, month by month, the boy's participation in the long adoption process. Finally the waiting for May is over, she meets her new family, and it is the boy who makes her smile. The child narrator's point of view distinguishes this book from others on this topic and makes it immediate and accessible. Beautifully rendered, sensitive paintings augment the text. Roberta's Note: This is a nicely told, straightforward story made special since the narrator is the brother and he gets to be the hero to his new little sister. This would make a nice gift for a little girl or boy who will also find themselves with a new sibling. A great introduction to adoption and the process that even young children will be able to understand. - 32 pages - paperback - ages 4-8
