How about something that the child can keep?
I don't pretend to know much about this, but I do know that a lot of these kids don't have any possessions, so giving her an album or a note book or something with pictures of the new life she's about to embark on, will give her something to look at at bed time.
For me, that would direct me to doing something on the computer with photos and captions and some description -- this is your room, you can paint it whatever color you want, this is your new school, this is the store, this is the mailman, this is your new Aunt Carol, she likes to cook...
Maybe having a place where she can put pictures of her life now or from her past, would be good too. How about giving her a disposable camera so she can take pictures of what she's leaving behind?
