Adoption Childrens Books - Xmas Gifts

I would like to buy Addison some adoption related Chilren's board books for Christmas/Birthday. She will be 1yr old, so I need something "entry level".

Thanks!

I had to go look at Aidan's bookshelf, but here are the books I have for him that I would catagorize as adoption books:

1. A mother for Choco
2. Tell me again about the night I was born (dosemtic infant adoption)
3. Shaoey and Dot (Chinese adoption)
4. Love you foever- this really about how families love each other all through life.


I hope these and I am waiting to see what others recommend.

i LOVE tell me again about the night i was born....the great thing about kids who can not read and tell you that you read it wrong is you can change the story, or read the story and add what was different about your adventure. ethan loves this book too!

On the Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier

This is a book that I have gotten for all of my friends who have had babie and I hope someone gets it for us!
It's not specifically adoption but it is wonderful!
