While my children are now a little too old for bedtime stories, I know that there is a shortage of adoption-themed children’s books. And books for trans-racial families are even harder to find.
In “All Bears Need Love,” Baby Brown Bear’s arrival at the city zoo is frightening but he is quickly scooped up by Mama Polar Bear. All the other animals say she can’t be his mother – for a myriad of reasons – but she meets each question or excuse with a loving reply.
It’s a sweet, quick story that I can see kids from 1-7 really enjoying.
I’m giving away an autographed copy of the book to one lucky reader. See the Rafflecopter widget below for all the ways you can enter. Open until Friday at midnight ET.

Julie, Thank you so much for sharing my book. I too love the books listed above (especially A Mother For Choco!) and am so happy ALL BEARS is in their company. Best of luck to those who enter to win! 🙂
When my husband and I adopted our two boys, a friend gave us a copy of, “God Found Us You”. It made me cry! I also adore “Motherbridge of Love”.
I love “A mother for CHoco” book. so so SWEET
“Instant Mom” by Nia Verdalos simply had me book-bound for two days, and that’s me being a mother already! It brought about many memories of my own initial motherhood experiences, but with her humor throughout the trials of adopting I gained precious insight to what others have to go through to adopt a child. I’m very much looking forward to an interview she’s having with Elaine Charles fromt eh Book Report radio (dotcom) show this upcoming Sunday. She’ll be talking about her book, as well as recourses, and resources for people wanting to adopt.
