Book Reviews of Every Year on Your Birthday
Book Review: A Beautiful, Thoughtful Book for Growing Chinese Adoptees
Summary: 5 Stars
I Love You Like Crazy Cakes came out just as I was completing the paperwork for my daughter's adoption, and Every Year on Your Birthday arrived just in time for my daughter's 4th birthday.
When she opened her present, she held up the book and proclaimed, "It's ME!" I can't overemphasize how important seeing other Asian faces is to my daughter-- and our family goes out of its way to ensure that.
The illustrations are beautiful, the sometimes difficult subject matter of orphanage life is treated sensitively, even positively.
I highly recommend this book for Chinese adoptees-- and even other Asian adoptees-- although the content doesn't *quite* match all experiences, it is an excellent starting off point. For example, we talk about what we did on various birthdays, speculate as to how she celebrated her first birthday before she was adopted, how we celebrated her birthdays and GOTCHA days each year. What a wonderful, easy way to begin sometimes difficult conversations.
An excellent addition to any pro-adoption library!
