A parent would reach for this book when their family is in the process of an international adoption or preparing a biological child for the arrival of a new sibling from another culture. It is a heart-centered story about a young girl named Meili whose family is traveling to China to adopt a baby sister. The narrative beautifully captures the complex intersection of joy, impatience, and the slight anxiety of how a new person will fit into a perfectly happy home. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, this book serves as a gentle mirror for the waiting period and the eventual realization that a family can always expand to include more love. Parents will appreciate the focus on cultural heritage and the realistic portrayal of a child's internal monologue during a major life transition.
