Home School Book Review on “We’re All Not the Same, But We’re Still Family”

Having adopted both of our sons, I found that this book covers the exact questions and issues that were discussed in our pre-adoption training. The story was written for adoptive families to explore the benefits of adoption openness. In her “For Parents and Caregivers Only” at the back of the book, co-author Theresa Harris, a therapist and adoptive mother, warns, “Openness may not always be positive for families.” But when it is a positive experience, it can help to address the important themes of identity, attachment, grief, and loss that adopted children (and their parents) often have to deal with.

Justin Fights Sleep is a funny and fantastical story about a boy who has decided that sleep is not for him and how he learns from the consequences of his decision. According to Parents Magazine, sleep fulfills several biological and mental imperatives including promoting growth, protecting the heart, controlling the appetite, boosting the immune system, reducing the chance for accidents, increasing attention span, and improving learning at school. Let Justin's story be a fun and gentle introduction into the importance of sleep hygiene for your family!

"This very short book is an opportunity for parents to help children begin to learn that sleep is necessary. It provides us with the energy to enjoy our awake time activities. Every child, teen and adult remembers the excitement experienced the night before a special event. It is truly a skill to be able to self-soothe and relax. Justin's story will be a wonderful addition to your bedtime story time routine."
