Every adoptee has a unique life history and story waiting to be told inhis or her own voice. "At Home in This World" captures the thoughts and emotions of a nine-year-old girl with honesty and eloquence as she reflects on her adoption from China. Author and adoption social worker Cindy Champnella reviews, ''Finally, the book I have been waiting for! At Home in This World needs to be on the bookshelf of everyone with an adopted child who seeks their own truth. Without sugar coating or undue sentiment, this story will touch the hearts and the sometimes empty places inside of many adoptees. After I read this book to my 7-year old, she clasped it to her and then placed it proudly in the spot where she keeps all her special treasures. That, in and of itself, is a remarkable endorsement of this powerful story.'' A must for every adoptive family’s bookshelf, At Home in This World encourages adoptees to explore and discuss their thoughts and feelings surrounding their own adoptions through the love and support of their family. Ages 6-9

Elén... yo taduciría el título por "mi casa en este mundo". Besicos
Todo adoptado tiene una historia de su vida única, una historia que espera ser contada por él/ella mism@. “Mi casa en este mundo” recoge los pensamientos y emociones de una niña de nueve años que refleja de forma honesta y elocuente cómo fue su adopción en China. El autor y la trabadora social Cindy Champnella comentan “¡Es el libro que estábamos esperando! Mi casa en este mundo debería estar en las bibliotecas de todo hijo adoptado que busca su propia realidad. Sin ser demasiado meloso ni excesivamente sentimental, la historia calará en los corazones y en algunos huecos vacíos de muchos adoptados.” Tras leer este libro, mi hijo de 7 años lo cerró y lo colocó en un lugar donde lo guarda como si fuera un preciado tesoro. Esto dice mucho de la historia que contiene”. Un libro que debe estar en todas las librerías de las familias adoptantes. “Mi casa en este mundo” anima a los adoptados a explorar y hablar sobre sus pensamientos y sentimientos que rodean su adopción a través del amor y el apoyo de sus familias. Edad 6-9
