Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born

Summary:

A little girl, having heard the story and memorized the events, simultaneously asks recites for her parents all the details of how they became a family on the day she was born.


Reader Enjoyment Factors:

The book is written "toddler speak," and moves quickly. It's a great way to introduce adoption because it focuses on the things important to kids

Content Awareness Factors:

None really. If you're looking for a story that exactly matches your adoptive situation (or if you adopted an older child), this may not be the book you're looking for.


Little Kid Reaction

Just like the little girl in the book, "I born" is a frequent request

Parent Reaction

It's a simple presentation of the ideas of family and adoption. It never gets tiring because it reminds us all over again how special our little one is and how wonderful it is to watch her grow. And the illustrations have humor built in.

Type of Book:
A simple story that celebrates love and family.
Educational Themes:

A nice story about how families come to be.
