Opis

"How a Family Was Made" tells the story of Mama and Daddy Evans, a young couple who love children, and how their family grew. Lily and Roma, biological daughters, are two and four years old when their parents decide to have more children, but through adoption. Three little boys complete the family, which becomes interracial. Instead of making a big deal of the boys' differences, they are embraced as beautiful parts of the whole in a loving family of seven. The author uses gentle humor and love to describe this heartwarming story of her own family . This charming new book is a must read for families planning to expand by adoption. It's a valuable tool for parents in preparing young children for new siblings brought into the home through the adoption process. By reading the book to and with their children, parents can convey to the little ones what a joyous occasion the event will be. This fun little story was written by a real Grammy Paula Anderson has always loved to write, and this is her first published work. Watch for more of her children's stories in the future. Paula lives in Kansas with her husband and son, a dog named Sam, and three cats, and she really does have five grandchildren In future books she will tell the story of how the family got Sam, and maybe even some more stories about her grandchildren. Nedra Lynch has been doodling, drawing and spattering paint since she could hold a crayon. She doesn't know when she started creating art; it has been something she does naturally. Nedra says, "As I paint mostly animals and country life this adventure into children's illustration has been a joy." Her delightful illustrations for this book bring the author's loving words to life. Nedra shows and sells her work at Globe Art and Glass Studio and Gallery in Globe, Kansas; a small town west of Baldwin City, Kansas. To see more of her work, go to: www.globeartglass.com
