[ 책 소개 ]
베스트셀러 그림책의 작가인 Karen Katz가 1991년에 멀리 중남미 지역에 가서 어린 딸 Lena를 입양했을 때의 감동과 환희의 경험을 아름다운 문장과 그림으로 보여주는 책입니다. 입양한 딸 Lena가 성장했을 때 이 책을 읽고, 엄마와 아빠가 Lena를 입양할 때 얼마나 기쁘고 감격했는지를 알게 해주고 싶어서 이 책을 만들었다고 하네요.
기다리고 기다리던 전화벨 소리... 드디어 입양할 아기가 태어났답니다. 엄마와 아빠는 서둘러 아기 용품들을 가방에 챙긴 후 차를 몰고 공항으로 달려 갑니다. 그리고 비행기를 타고 아기가 태어난 곳으로 날아갑니다. 마침내 기다리고 기다리던 아기를 만나는 순간, 미리 와있던 할머니와 할아버지, 그리고 아기를 입양한 부모들은 감격에 겨워 아기를 껴안고 또 겨안습니다. 아기를 키워 본 경험이 없었던 새로운 부모는 처음에는 걱정도 했습니다만, 아기에게 우유를 먹이고, 기저귀도 갈아주고, 놀아주고, 목욕시켜주는 첫날을 보낸 후, 잠자링에 들면서 다음날이 어서 빨리 왔으면 좋겠다고 생각합니다. 비행기를 타고 아기와 함께 집으로 돌아 온 부모는 잠자리에 든 영원한 부모 자식이 되기를 다짐한 후 굿나잇 키스를 해줍니다...

Book Description
"Your baby has been born! She is wonderful. Come quickly and get her."
This is a magical, reassuring story of one adoptive family's beginnings, told in words and pictures that are just right for the youngest child--an ideal story to share with families everywhere.
A long-awaited baby is born, and the adoptive parents who have been dreaming of her fly far, far away to bring her home.
From Publishers Weekly
W called this story of a couple who take an airplane trip to adopt a baby girl "an ebullient tribute for families whose members may have come from a faraway place."
From School Library Journal
Bright, fanciful folk-art illustrations set the mood for (but occasionally get in the way of) this loving story of adoption. The smoothly flowing text is reassuring throughout, reflecting the joy of the new parents and ending with the "forever and always" that is the promise of adoption. The foster parents ("the kind people who had taken care of her") are pictured. The first day includes the first telling of the adoption story to the baby girl, "You grew like a flower in another lady's tummy." However, the first couple of illustrations are problematic. On the first spread, a baby is shown alone on a hillside sitting on a beanbag cloud with a city in the distance. The text states: "Once upon a time a teeny-tiny baby was born." Babies aren't born alone on hillsides, and even though this one is smiling, the picture doesn't seem reassuring. Adopted children need to know that they were born like other children, and did not appear magically without human connection. Also, though the text realistically recounts the new parents' first-day nervousness, the baby is pictured as smiling throughout instead of showing a range of reactions to different activities and situations.
From Kirkus Reviews
A happy, colorful book about a man and woman dreaming of their soon-to-be-born adopted baby, receiving the news of her birth, and flying to the ``faraway place'' where they meet their child. Based on Katz's experience adopting a Central American infant and bright with mixed-media illustrations suggestive of folk art, this is a book for adults to use with children who were adopted in similar circumstances. The message is reassuring: ``Forever and always we will be your mommy and daddy. Forever and always you will be our child.'' The birth mother is gently described as another lady in whose tummy ``you grew like a flower,'' but who ``wasn't able to take care of you, so Mommy and Daddy came to adopt you and bring you home.'' The baby has dark hair like the mother's and dark eyes like both parents' but with duskier skin than either. As in Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell's Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born (1996), both text and pictures are suffused with anticipation and joyful welcome at the baby's arrival. |
