I choose this book because I read it as a child and it is still one of my favorite today. Here is a quick overview of the book written by Jonathan London and Illustrated by Cynthia Jabar. It was published in 1993 and has awesome pictures. Here is a review by Jeanne
K. Pettenati:
The special relationship
that Katie has with her Koala bear brings home the nature and permanence of
adoption. Katie is at the age when she thinks a lot about babies. Her parents provide
simple, honest answers to Katie's questions about adoption. A unique insight
dawns when she adopts a stuffed animal that her parents buy for her at the zoo.
Katie imagines that Mama Koala loved her baby but couldn't take care of her. So
Katie adopts the koala, and feeds nurtures, and protects it. Their love is
lasting and mutual, just like the love between Katie and her parents. This is
an excellent addition to any family adoption library. The appealing
illustrations are soft and soothing and perfectly match the text.
