Book Reviews of Over the Moon: An Adoption Tale

Book Review: A great book !
Summary: 5 Stars

Other reviewers have said it, but I'll say it again: Everyone's adoption experience is different, and no book will match everyone's needs. But this is a beautifully illustrated and nicely written book about adopting a baby girl from abroad. The parents in the book fly away to a tropical location to bring home their baby, but the story works for any "we had to travel far to get you" type of adoption. It's a simple and sweet story that my 4 year-old daughter loves. It's even prompted her to ask questions about her birth. For those of you with a secular outlook, this book also avoids any religious overtones. You'll probably find other adoption books that you like, but I think you'll be happy with this one.
