Given To: The Gift of Adoption Book
This is a heartfelt true story that explores a question deeply relevant to anyone touched by adoption. Inspired by a tender moment on a family beach vacation, the story begins when a young adopted granddaughter asks her grandmother, “Why was I given away when I was born?”
The grandmother’s gentle and powerful response — “You were never given away, you were given TO” — becomes the heart of this beautifully illustrated book.
A quiet question leads to a heartfelt conversation between a young girl and her grandmother - one that gently explores love, identity, and the beauty of belonging.
At the center of this tender story is a powerful truth: she was never given away...she was given to.
With soft watercolor illustrations and reassuring language, Given To offers a safe, comforting way to talk about adoption - one filled with warmth, hope, and love.
