Children's Book Suggestions?

-Stephanie-

I have a friend with a 4 yr old (bio) son and she is looking for children's books to help explain adoption to him. They are currently in the home study (paperwork) phase for an International Adoption. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

A few that I have seen:

 

I Wished for You by Marianne Richmond

Forever Fingerprints by Sherrie Eldridge

A Blessing from Above by Patti Henderson

Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born by Jamie Lee Curtis

Thanks girls, these are some that I have picked out for my own baby library too.

My friend is specifically looking for a children's book for her biological son to explain a new sibling that is not growing in mommy's tummy. Does that makes sense?

I love books!

"How I became a big sister" is a good one. It talks about how a little girl with no siblings became a big sister to someone. I know you said your friend has a little boy, but that might be helpful.

 These are perfect resources for this situation! Thank you so much. I tried to search tapestry for this topic and didn't find that page.
