    "In an informative yet personal tone, Cole's picture book introduces the delicate issue of adoption to very young children. Honesty, realism and well-chosen biological facts supportCole's cast of characters, who, radiating self-confidence, celebrate the joy of becoming a family....Cole's cheerful, informative approach to adoption is at the heart of this picturebook."--" Publishers Weekly "(starred review)"Cole expertly navigates a middle course that provides children with some excellent, age-appropriate background on adoption."-- "Booklist
    Main description
    Sam has a joyful story to tell, one completely her own, yet common to millions of families -- the story of how she was adopted. Most of all, it's a story about love. And in the end, Sam's story comes full circle, inviting young readers to share stories of how they were adopted.
