(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michelle Shapiro. Based on the author's own experience, this book tells the story of a Jewish family who adopt a Vietnamese baby. While similar to other fictional stories about international adoptions, the book's religious aspects (the mikvah, or ritual bath); the Shabbat celebrations) provide a unique specificity. The gentle, colorful paintings reflect the family's joy.
