What happens in the household when a family with three children adopts another child into their home? Gifts To Each Other is the tender and true story of one family’s tale before they adopted and the changes that occurred after, with the "gift" referring to the family members themselves. Not only does it honor the adopted child, but it is also a tribute to those who are already in the family.
Preschool and early elementary children will enjoy discovering the reasons why this family was so eager to adopt. The beautiful watercolor pictures come full circle to complete the story, captivating both youngsters and adults alike. Gifts To Each Other is an excellent introduction to the concept of adoption, for both adoptive and traditional families.
With a Christian emphasis, Gifts To Each Other encourages the belief that God cares and wants to be involved in our lives.
