God made all babies different and special, and He made families different and special too. All the Babies is a child’s first book about adoption. Author Kate Rietema introduces readers to eleven different kids who all entered their families in unique ways. With sweet illustrations of diverse families and children, kids will see people who remind them of themselves and their own families. This book features the following kinds of adoption:

Domestic adoption
International adoption
Kids adopted into big families
Single-parent adoption
Kids adopted by family members
Older-child adoption
And much more!

The sentences are fun and simple, laying the foundation for future conversations about adoption, diversity, and belonging. By highlighting aspects of being adopted that might make a child feel different from their siblings or peers, All the Babies celebrates God’s creative design. Our differences make us special.

“All the babies are different and special.
All the babies are made by God.
All the babies are loved–forever and always.”
