We Love Lily Mar 05, 2010
By Sivje A. Parish
"Real Mom"
Lily is a special book. As the mother of a daughter adopted from China, I look for books that my little one can relate too. Lily is written in a voice similar to how my daughter speaks so she understands it. It tells the story of the adoption trip and entrance into a new family in a matter-of-fact manner, yet is comfortable and fun to read. We have other adoption books that deal with the difficulties of abandonment and sometimes sugar coat the pain of these things. "Lily" is not about that, so it is a welcome reprieve from the difficult aspects of adoption. It is simply a child's adoption story that feels like she is sharing it with her friends. My daughter likes this book because she can share it with her friends and help them understand her adoption.

Beautifully Written and Illustrated account of Chinese adoption.... Mar 25, 2009
By SRobinson
"SMARTSHOPPER"
I was blown away by this moving story of a family adopting a baby girl from China. The illustrations are rich and the colors are wonderfully vibrant.
The story is based on the true events of the "Adoption Trip" the family made to pick Lily up and bring her home.
Written through the perspective of Lily herself, we see how she reminisces based on stories she has been told about the trip, photos of those days, as well as her own memories growing up.
The importance of knowing where one comes from and maintaining your adoptive child's culture, such as Lily's "China Sister's" remains strong throughout the story.
It is one of the best childrens books I have purchased in a long time and my own little girl loves the story and pictures as much as I do.
How great is that!
