A must have for every Ethiopian adoptive family or anyone who wants to learn a little more about !
"…a straightforward tale of interracial adoption— ...Yafi’s adoptive family is open and encouraging, which helps Yafi find a solution…" Kirkus Reviews
- A tender story of a six-year-old Ethiopian boy's adoption and family history is a celebration of the all-encompassing love for each child that original families and adoptive parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters share.
- Yafi (Yafee), his parents, and two sisters, eight-year-old Kari and ten-year-old Anna, remember his early life and his adoption experience by telling stories, revisiting memories, and looking at photographs. Yafi's Family is the story of love, loss, and a boy's discovery of how wide and how deep the bonds of family can be.
"The conversations this adoptive family has with their son about birth family rings so true to life. Although this book is about a child from Ethiopia, it will resonate as much for my Haitian son as it will for my two Ethiopian daughters. I am happy to recommend this book to all families with adopted children." Julie Valentine, Founder and Director of Adopting.com and African Cradle Ethiopian Heritage Camp Coordinator
Hard cover book, 32 pages, suitable for ages 6 and above
