Children's book suggestions?

[lizblue]

Hi all - anybody have any good children's book suggestions? Transracial theme would be great, but adoption in general is good too.

Thanks in advance.

I like tell me again about the night I was born. It's not transracial though.

Check out the blog White Sugar, Brown Sugar. She has lists upon lists of books that are adoption related. Particularly for AA children, too!

A relative of ours wrote this book "I Love You All the Same" which is based in her experience with having grand kids who were adopted and party of a transracial family. It's written by Donna Keith and is on Amazon, Lifeway, and Target. She just released a second one as well but the title is escaping me, although it's similar to the first title. They are for a younger age range but we love the first one.

DH ordered a couple on Amazon, but my favourite is I Wished For You by Marianne Richmond. It covers adoption and transracial ideas. Grab some Kleenex for the first read throug (well I needed some anyway. It's beautiful and has wonderful adoption language).

A mother for choco is a good one too.

I was at costco last week and saw this book: Wherever you are my love will find you by Nancy Tillman. I got all emotional. It is just about loving a child.

I bought "go the fuck to sleep" to balance ALL the tears I was shedding after purchasing the more serious suggestions in this thread. Great post!!

This was my favorite book growing up! I made my mother read it to me every night!
