 The lovely little story of a little bear |
| Review Date: March 5, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Midwest Book Review, Oregon, WI USA |
Charmingly written and beautifully illustrated picturebook by Marianne Richmond, "I Wished For You" is the lovely little story of a little bear named Barley and his mother who sit in a very nice stuffed chair and talk about how they came to be a family. The simple and engaging text follows the them of adoption and will prove to be an especially nice way for parents to explain adoption and answer the kids of questions that young children have. The ultimate message is that it's not where you were born, but how well you are loved that makes you a member of a family. Also very highly recommended for family and community library collections is Marianne Richmond's companion picturebook, "You Are My Wish Come True" (9781934082256, $15.95). Parents and librarians are encouraged to visit the Marianne Richmond Studies website at www.mariannerichmond.com for a complete list of all her wonderfully engaging, expertly written, and beautifully illustrated titles.

| I've reviewed sooo many adoption books and this one was great for Domestic Adoptions! There are too many books for international adoptions and not enough for domestic adoptions. This book will bring back all those emotions and memories. It actually brought tears. I'm excited to share my daughters adoption and hope this book will help answer some of her questions when she is ready to hear it. The book addresses your feelings and the birthmoms feelings in a very positive tone. Enjoy! |
Wonderful!!!

| I've been looking for a book to explain to my 5 year old son how he came to be in our family. I've found many books on foreign adoption and adopting older children, but we were blessed to be in the delivery room when he was born. This book was incredibly sweet, and the words in it are words I've been looking for. We love this book and it is helping us with being open and honest about adoption. If you are a parent through the miracle and love of adoption, this is the book to get!!!! |

| I Wished For You and You Are My Wish Come True are the EXACT same book. I bought them both thinking they were two different books. Although they are beautifully written and illustrated, I am disappointed that they are sold under two titles. |
This book is awesome!!!

| I love that the focus is positive and truthful. It doesn't ignore the birth mother's role (as other books I've seen) and is age appropriate. It is probably not great for older children, but great for young children!!! We love it!! |
