(4) K-3 Illustrated by Patrice Barton. In a sentimental adoption story that reads like a fairy tale, a Chinese baby floats away from her birth parents down a river, watched over by the moon. Meanwhile, her adoptive parents travel toward her on their own journey. The moon presides over text and illustrations alike, a reassuring reminder of the way they're all linked: China, birthparents, and the newly created family.
