Jin Woo
Written by: Eve Bunting
Illustrated by: Chris Soentpiet
Elementary Grades
Jin Woo tells the story of David, a young adoptee whose family is preparing to adopt a second child: a Korean baby boy named Jin Woo.
Like many children expecting a new child into the family, David has some concerns. But his parents assure him that the love they share with the new baby will not diminish the love they have for him. And David bonds with his new brother, ensuring the unity of the newly enlarged family.
This is a good story with educational value. The author brings up some interesting aspects of cross-cultural/international adoption. The easy-to-read text is well complemented by Soentpiet's colorful, realistic illustrations. I recommend "Jin Woo" for both home and classroom."
