Sweet Moon Baby - By Karen Henry Clark
A sweet, dreamy tale of how a little Chinese baby came to be adopted by American parents. The story line somehow resembles a lullaby, as you watch this little infant float along the river, guarded by the smiling moon. Colorful, unique illustrations capture both Oriental and American art.

Daisy Comes Home - By Jan Brett
One little hen is being bullied by the others until she finally decides to leave her Chinese hen house, and ends up on an adventure! Introduce children to animals like water buffalo, red-tailed monkeys, and cormorants, while discovering whether or not little Mei-Mei gets her hen back! A richly illustrated book set in rural China. Such an excellent story for showing readers what life is like in a different culture!

Finding Joy - By Marion Coste
The tender story of a couple from the United States who decide to adopt a baby girl from China. This is an excellent book for reading to a child who HAS BEEN adopted, or for sharing with a group of children to TEACH them ABOUT adoption! The storyline will help little ones to see that being adopted is truly a precious thing - and it doesn't necessarily mean that their REAL parents didn't want them, either! Because of China's strict family laws, literally thousands of Chinese infants have been adopted since 1991, and are now in loving, caring homes. The oriental illustrations match this story beautifully.
