(3) K-3 Illustrated by Roger Roth. Cassidy-Li, whose parents adopted her from China, is Star of the Week in kindergarten. She's making a poster with photos of the important people in her life, "but something is missing." What about her birth parents, whom she doesn't know? The author and artist, adoptive parents themselves, give their protagonist plenty of personality as they thoughtfully explore questions faced by adoptive families.
