Red in the Flower Bed by Andrea Nepa





About the Book







The journey of adoption is beautifully depicted with the comforting imagery of a poppy flower who is welcomed into a garden family. It is a charming story of "seeds" being planted in the perfect place - exactly where they belong. Children and adults will enjoy this simple yet meaningful story and homespun illustrations. The book's loving approach helps children to understand adoption. Andrea Nepa has captured the essence of adoption and family, and has illustrated it beautifully with images and poetry that even a small child can comprehend and enjoy.

My Review:
I found this a delightful book and it deals with adoption in a sensitive way.
Its a great way of explaining adoption to children, both children who are adopted and other children. This will also be good for children adopted from different countries. It is good to see this sort of book out for adopted children.
