“I mark a circle on the calendar. I have ten days and nine nights.” The opening of this adoption story shows a young Asian girl marking May 10 on a calendar. As she waits for her mom to return, she counts down each day by doing something that’s a clue: cutting a red paper heart, helping Grandpa redecorate her room, watching her dad buying new furniture, practicing holding a baby, and washing her old teddy bear. Then Grandma makes a little pink dress and Daddy closes his dry-cleaning store. Interspersed with the girl’s actions are wordless scenes of Mom signing papers and flying home with the new baby sister.

How many days until a little girl’s adopted sibling is brought home?
Follow a little girl as she and her family prepare for the new baby that will soon be joining them. And simultaneously, watch the girl’s mother fly off to Korea, meet the new baby, and bring her home. Here is an utterly simple, sweet, and child-centric look at the adoption process through the eyes of a soon-to-be older sibling. From cutting a red paper heart and taping it above the new baby’s crib to telling her best friend about the adoption, the young narrator counts down every day and night with growing anticipation, marking them with a big X on her calendar. Unlike other adoption books which are aimed only at the adoptive child, Ten Days and Nine Nights is also perfect for older children who are about to become big sisters and brothers.

"He marcado un círculo en el calendario. Tengo diez días y nueve noches". El inicio de esta historia de adopción, nos muestra una pequeña niña asiática, marcando el día 10 de mayo en el calendario. Mientras espera que su madre vuelva, va contando hacia atrás y realizando algo parecido a pequeñas pistas: cortando una corazón en un papel rojo, ayudando al abuelo a decorar su habitación, buscando con su padre nuevos muebles, practicando como coger un bebé, y lavando su osito de peluche. La abuela está haciendo un pequeño vestido rosa y papá cierra su tienda.
Mientras esto ocurre, se ve a mamá firmando papeles y cogiendo un avión para volver a casa con su nueva hermana.
