When I was little, my brother asked my Mama about his adoption story and I was able to give him the "whole story" and used my imagination to help him see the beauty of adoption. This story is beautifully illustrated to help readers see how adoption is part of God's plan and He is with us always! This is the second book written by Julie K. Her first book, "The Purpose Puzzle" was written for adult readers and while writing it, she felt the Lord wanted her to write a children's book about adoption. She also wanted the perfect illustrator to help bring her story to life, so she asked 21-year-old Jackson Hill and he agreed. He has been drawing since he was three years old and won a county art contest at 9. He enjoys nature, is one of the most creative people and loves the Lord. What people are saying about this book. Tonya (adoptive mom) "My 5-year-old sat still for me to read it to her so that is saying a lot! Kept her attention! Sarah (in adoptive family) "All I can say is WOW. All put into one story!" Alinda (adoptive mom)"I teared up more than once. I can see this as a sweet adoption book that I would keep and give as a gift to everyone who adopts a child." Marissa (adopted child) "It's a super sweet story and shows how adopted children are loved by other people and not just their biological parent." Tanner (adopted child) "I like how it simplifies adoption and I like how the image of the leaf floats away and is not taken away." Sharon (adoptive mom) "This story led us to a great open and honest conversation and I feel like it validated my adopted children." Josh (my son) "I was the purple leaf and I found my New Mama Tree, just like my Mom did!"
