2. You say it so well!

Thank you. If you remember the name of the book in the middle of the night, do post, smile. We have an adopted kid in our family -- from Ethiopia -- so we are always on the look out for books of this kind. Kaleb is about to turn five and for the last year or so he has been asking questions about himself. His parents had a book made up and were ready to show him how they had gone to Ethiopia and how he had joined the family. He still alternates between questioning his skin color and seemingly being satisfied to simply have a very loving family. After reading the Color of Water, I realized this will be a life time journey.

Thank you for your comments. Take care of that pale skin!
