About the Book
The joyous and mystical adoption of a precious baby from Ethiopia is the theme of this story, played out in a magical garden. It explores the wonder and beauty of families coming together with all their differences through the incredible gift of adoption and how beautiful those differences can be when founded in love.
Unique interactive spaces in the book allow children the opportunity to explore their own relationships as they answer questions by designing and coloring their own pages, becoming co-authors/illustrators! Lines for them to sign their name and the date of their illustrations are included to become very special memories for years to come.
Creating even more fun is the little yellow kitten hidden throughout the book. Can you find her?

Written by a sister waiting to meet her brand-new sister to come from Ethiopia, The Magical Friendship Garden tells a larger story of adoptive families and the children they love. This isn't just a story for children to listen to. Rather it's a story that asks children to become involved with pages for them to color as they respond to questions about their own families and growing their own gardens. I was smiling as I read each page. So will you.
