Finding Joy

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yong Chen. When an older couple decides they want another child, the mother travels to China to bring home a baby girl, Shu-li, to whom they give the English name Joy. Although the watercolor illustrations have an awkward, posed look, the pictures and text convey the heartfelt story of an adoptive family with older parents. Includes a note about adoption in China.
