We just welcomed our 10-month-old son home from South Korea last week. We also have a 3-year-old daughter, and this book has been fantastic in helping prepare her for her new role as a big sister--not to mention a conversation starter on the topic of adoption. And it's just plain adorable. The illustrations are so cute and charming, and the story is told in such a simple way that allows parents to explain photos and talk to their children about their specific circumstances (if applicable).
In the story the mother travels to South Korea to bring home the baby sister while the father and older sister stay home. In the book, we hear from the big sister's perspective all the things family members do to prepare for her baby sister's arrival. The book has been such a great tool for us, we even took it to the airport and read it while we were waiting to meet our son. (At the end of the book, the family goes to the airport to meet the mother who has just returned from South Korea with the baby sister. So sweet.)
Our daughter sleeps with this book every night and "reads" it often (she has most of it memorized).
Thank you, Yumi Heo, for such a touching, adorable, and relevant book that serves as an excellent conversation-starter for little ones who are preparing to welcome siblings through adoption. We give this book five stars!
