Raised in Iowa and eventually ending up in Florida, Carla Bach and her husband Michael adopted Noah Jon in May of 2005. Her son changed her life and inspired her to write this children's book for all children, biological or adopted, to give an introduction to adoption. In a simple format she wanted to give clarity and similarity to his socialization and self-being. In her words: "I wrote this book for my son to be sure he understood that he was "born" from us in a magical and special way."
