Hybrid Families
Adding branches to the tree.
No matter what your views are on adoption or the baby book tradition, one thing is certain: My Family, My Journey (46 pg., Chronicle Books), a scrapbook for the growing audience of adoptive families, fills a gap in the literature. Written by Zoe Francesca and illustrated by Susie Gharhemani, the book offers enough stickers to tack on memorabilia to make it feel like an ordinary baby book, but looks fresh enough to be worth keeping on the bookshelf.
