Megan's Birthday Tree: A Story about Open Adoption

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-5036-1 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Megan's birth mother, Kendra, planted a tree in honor of her birthday. Though she's happy in her adoptive family, Megan worries when Kendra moves to another town: without the birthday tree, will Kendra forget her? Though static, the realistic illustrations for this purposeful but reassuring story about open adoption include some nice portraits of the admirably determined protagonist.
