Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born
by Jamie Lee Curtis
=============================================================
A 7 year old girl asked me to read this to her the other day. She was adopted at the age of one and she is originally from Korea. This is one of her favorite books.
I can't even begin to explain how touched I was while reading this to her. When we got to the page about how her mom couldn't have a baby and her birth mom was too young to keep her, the little girl said, "just like my mommy" with a huge smile on her face.
It is so wonderful that this book is out there for children to read. You could tell my 7 year old friend is so accepting of her situation and this gives her a story she can relate to.

Seeing literature touch the life of a child is wonderful. She 'saw' herself in print.
