Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born is a fun story that celebrates the beautiful blessing of adoption. What was the lullaby that mommy sang as they fell asleep.
Although Curtis' book is about a domestic adoption, I think it is important to show our girls the many ways families are formed. Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born is a cute story about a young girl who asks her parents about the first night of her life.
My wife and I have adopted two girls from China so stories about adoption are important to us. How did her parents feel the first time they held her.
There are many details she wants to know. Was she tiny and perfect.
I especially like how the father plays as much of a role in the story as the mother.
This was recommended to my daughter who just adopted a child. She was thrilled with the book. I ordered it before Christmas and got it right away.
This is pretty much how our story happened, so we love it. More than anything it makes her feel so special and uniquely chosen. My daughter is 5 and loves every ounce of it. She asked me to read it to her again last night. The only part I disagree with is I think football is the greatest sport, not baseball. :)
This is an engaging and inspiring book. These magic moments are why we want to become parents to begin with. Eventually, she asked me to make a story book for her about the night she was born.
Curtis captures very well the magic of that first night and those first few days. We put together her book with her favorites parts of her first few days, scrapbook style. My daughter loves when we read this one together.
She was so inspired by this book. She does it so well that any child can appreciate this book, regardless of how their family was put together. This book, naturally, had my daughter asking about the night she was born, over and over.
Now, we read both books together. Thank you, Jamie, for such a wonderful gift.
I bought it shortly after we brought home our daughter who joined our family through domestic adoption. This is an awesome book for domestic adoption. The first time I read it my husband & I were a waiting family and I cried. We had to travel to another state to pick her up. Although every adoption story is different, I think this would be a great book to encourage every family to talk about their adoption story to their kids.
