(2) PS A Korean American girl eagerly anticipates the adoption of her baby sister from Korea. Details are basic: Mommy leaves on an airplane, and big-sister-to-be helps Daddy, Grandpa, and Grandma prepare. Commendably, the story focuses on the girl's experience rather than attempting to tug at parental heartstrings. Heo's airy illustrations match the child-friendly perspective. An author's note offers brief facts about international adoption.
