One of my new favorite children's books is an adoption book:
"Little Fox cuddled up to Mama Fox one night and said sleepily, 'Mama, tell me again about the day I came home.'"
And so the Mama Fox tells her baby how she waited and waited until God brought them together.
"Oh how I longed for the day that you would arrive, when God would find us you."
This sweet book is such a wonderful story to help explain adoption to young children, especially toddlers. I have already read it to my two sons. My six-year-old loves and it helped him understand how this "new sister" would be coming to our family.
Of course I cannot wait to read it to HER one day. It also explains interracial ideas, why might "the other mother" could not keep him, and other similar adoption topics. I feel in love because the focus of the book is not on the birth mother, the child, or the adoptive mother. The focus in on God.

I plan on getting this book as well!
