Just Add One Chinese Sister

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen A. Jerome. Taking a fresh (if overly purposeful) approach to the subject, McMahon tells her daughter, Claire, about her adoption from China while assembling a scrapbook about the journey. The conversational tone lends intimacy, while her son's journal entries offer the perspective of a new big brother. The watercolor illustrations show an engaging mix of photos, souvenirs, and scenes from the narrative.
