A new illustrated book for young children, The Baby with Three Families, Two Countries, and One Promise: An International Adoption Story, by Julie Gianelloni Connor, is destined to be a classic read-aloud for young children. With brightly colored, simple illustrations by Saman Chinthaka Weerasinghe, large-print text, and concise, simple vocabulary, the author and illustrator have created a family love story that will rival Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.
