Trade Review
"This is an important, moving, and beautiful book that shows all of us a unique and powerful method to facilitate young children's self-discovery and growth. Jane Katch writes with a spare, pure poetry as she tells the delightful, hilarious, and at times terribly sad stories of the adopted children in her class, moving us through a range of emotions and understandings. The great artistry of her writing, her self-reflection and humility, and the way she listens deeply to parents who adopt make this a remarkable book-reading it will leave you changed for the better." -Joshua Sparrow, MD, associate director of the Brazelton Touchpoints Center"
