Nancy Carlson was one of the first authors I knew of, and I always really enjoyed her stories. So, when I saw her My Family is Forever picture book on the shelf, I decided it was worth a read. I LOVED this book. At first, I thought it was going to be about a traditional perfect family-mom, dad, and child. But not quite. The child in the story actually talks about how she is adopted. The author does a great job explaining the adoption process and why the child looks different from her parents in a way that it is easy for a child to understand. From the pictures, you can tell that the little girl is Asian, and her parents are not.
I think this would be a great book to read to a child who is adopted, or just to read to a class to show that not every family is the same. This book is definitely an easy read, with only a few words on each page, perfect for a first grade reading level!
