Produktbeschreibung
Five year-old Rosa suspects that something is wrong with her mama. What she discovers brings immense joy and sadness to her tiny family. Mama is pregnant, but she cannot keep the baby. Instead, she's arranging an open adoption. Join Rosa as she navigates her mother's grief, meets the family who will adopt her baby brother, and learns ways to cope with her own feelings of loss. Like so many birth siblings, Rosa embarks on a quest to accept that, even though she won't live with her brother, she will always be, Sam's Sister. "As a therapist who works with adopted children and teens, Sam's Sister is one of the best books for adopted kids available today... the children and teens who read it with me give Sam's Sister two thumbs up for any child involved in any way in an adoption." - Judy Stigger, LCSW Adoption counselor and educator, Board President of JCICS, Advisory Board of Adoptive Families Magazine "Finally, a book that acknowledges birth siblings to adopted children. Even if your child doesn't know their birth family, this story delivers a terrifically positive message about the way adopted children are valued by BOTH of their families. Great job! Four stars." - Beth Hall, Co-Executive Director, Pact: An Adoption Alliance & Co-author, Inside Transracial Adoption

Autorenporträt
About the Author: Juliet C. Bond, LCSW is a social worker, mother, foster parent, and children's book writer from Evanston, IL. She wrote Sam's Sister while working with birth mothers who struggled to explain their open adoption plans to the children they were parenting. Over 60% of birth mothers are already parenting other children when they make an adoption plan. Hoping to provide an avenue for parents and children to deal with grief and loss issues related to adoption, she wrote this book. More than a decade later, the book has become a staple, used by adoption agencies and parents across the country. She hopes this re-release, with new illustrations, an affordable paperback format, and an important resource section will continue to bring comfort to families making such an important life decision. About the Illustrator: Linda Hoffman Kimball illustrates for adults and for children in various media. Like the recurring lovey, Rosa's rooster, who is given to Sam at the end of the story, Linda's illustrations include a depth of humor and heart that work beautifully in a book like Sam's Sister. Her illustrations appear in books published by Houghton Mifflin, Ballantine, Norton, Children's Press, and in numerous magazines and periodicals. She earned a BA from Wellesley College and an MFA from Boston University. Check out her website at LindaHoffmanKimball.com.
