A New Book Ordered

Karen sent me a link for a book called "Waiting for May" by Janet Morgan Stoeke. I had to buy it after I saw the description. Here's the description given on Amazon.com, but I ordered it from half.com b/c it was cheaper there.

In this poignant and heartfelt book, a young boy anticipates the arrival of his new baby sister. She is coming from China to be adopted into his American family.The story describes, month by month, the boy’s participation in the long adoption process. Finally the waiting for May is over—she meets her new family, and it is the boy who makes her smile. The child narrator’s point of view distinguishes this book from others on this topic and makes it immediate and accessible. Beautifully rendered, sensitive paintings augment the text.
