Our Commonality: Humanity

As the wait grows, I've had time to begin thinking about the repertoire of important books that I'd like to include in our daughter's library, books that address issues of transracial adoption, equality, race, diversity, culture and the like.

For ages birth to 5 years (and even good for adults;).

Every day all over the world, children are laughing and crying, playing and learning. They may not look the same. They may not speak the same language. And their lives may be quite different. But inside, they are just like you.
