How I Wonder Where You Are (L.I.F.E.* Adventures series) by Anna Maria DiDio

A Children’s Book About Adoption

How I Wonder Where You Are is one of the most thoughtful children’s books about adoption ever written. Adopted as an older child, Carla wonders about her identity and roots. Where did she come from? Who does she look like? Triggered by her school FAMILY TREE assignment, she wonders about her first mom and the path that led her to this new life. Will Carla ever truly love her new family? The grief and loss sometimes experienced by adopted children is handled with gentle sensitivity as Carla realizes the love that her new family has to share.
