Adoptees Who Changed the World

A Board Book

There are, I am quite certain, many adoptees who have changed the world. Of course, in a very short book, just a few can be featured. That is the case in this board book which briefly profiles nine adoptees. As can be seen from the cover, three of them are Steve Jobs, Simone Biles and Jamie Foxx. The others are George Washington Carver, Crazy Horse, Nelson Mandela, Kristin Chenowith, and Faith Hill. Each person has two pages with some biographical material and illustrations. Note that the illustrations are quite appealing.

I am not sure of the audience for this book. I don’t think that the text would appeal to the youngest children. I do think that this title could be used as a conversation starter.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Familius Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
