pick5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This book starts with a child asking their parent to tell them about the night they were born. it goes through the child being born and picked up and how special it was because the child is adopted. This helps normalize adoption. It‘s not a scary thing, it‘s what it is, and it‘s its own special view of how you came into the world. There are fabulous illustrations, and this is a forever classic by Jayme Lee Curtis.

I enjoyed this book and think it would be good to use in class as a share for students with siblings, or when preparing young children for a new sibling or family changes!
pickThe New Baby at Your House (1985) is a nonfiction book by Joanna Cole that helps young children understand and adjust to the arrival of a new sibling. Through simple text and illustrations, it explains what to expect and reassures kids about the changes a new baby brings to the family.
so-soThis book has a good message for young children about the death of animals. It is very straightforward and has unique child-like illustrations.
“Then they cried because their singing was so beautiful and the ferns smelled so sweetly and the bird was dead“
I am unsure if I would read this book to an entire class of students because of its heavy content about death. However, I think this book would be good to read one-on-one with a student who has experienced the death of a pet or animal in general.
