Tell me again about the night I was born.
Tell me again how you would adopt me and be my parents.
Tell me again about the first time you held me in your arms.

In asking her parents to tell her again about the night of her birth, a young girl shows that it is a cherished tale she knows by heart.

My daughter always likes to hear my story about the day she was born and when I saw this book on Amazon I just had to get it. I couldn't wait to read it to my daughter and interject my very own story. What a wonderful way to talk about the love of life with the love of our lives...our chidren! Thanks Jamie Lee!

Adoption

I love this book. It was recommended to us by our adoption agency. I am hoping it will help explain adoption to my 6 month old. She is too young to understand yet, but I read the book to her often. She loves the bright colors!! I haven't seen a sweeter story about adoption for children....I get choked up everytime we read it!!!

This is a great book for any adoptive parents to read to their child/ children. It tells a story kids want to hear and tells it with a sense of humor (they thought their new screaming baby was a potential opera star)and great characters like the dog who was adopted too and has his own family tree. We read this book to our son regularly.

Cute Story

My daughter loves this book, lots of good pics and humor. While she doesn't understand adoption at age 3 yet, it won't be such a surprise with books like this one.

Good book for adoption

I love this series of books, but I bought this one by mistake. It's about adoption which doesn't apply to my children. Great for adopted children!

Spot-On Positive Vibes for Adopted Kids and their Parents

2008-06-23
Tell Me Again... is my favorite storybook about adoption. The little girl whose voice we hear is a happy and proud teller of her own adoption tale, and her parents' essences come through loud, clear and wonderfully human. The illustrations provide kids with zillions of fun things to detect, and everyone finishes the story with a smile on their face. My only complaint: I couldn't find it in hardback. Since this book will be read a hundred times you need a sturdy version.

WAS THAT YOU IN PALM SPRINGS?

Hey jaime I was in Palm Springs two weekends ago and was dancing in an outdoor patio at this fab mexican restaurant in PS. You came in in black and orange. We danced to this great band. Everyone says it wasn't you but I know it was and you were so great! Congratulations on a great book. Keep the second acts comin'!

WANT SOME GET SOME

One of the Best Books on Adoption

2008-04-12
This is one of several children's books written by the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, and I think it is the one you should start with. It is tender, loving, and funny. Nearly everyone should be able to relate to either the parent or the child in the story.

Fortunately, we discovered the audio version first.The Jamie Lee Curtis CD Audio Collection: Is There Really a Human Race?, When I Was Little, Tell Me About the Night I Was Born, Today I Feel Silly, Where ... Go?, I'm Gonna Like Me, It's Hard to Be Five The CD is a wonderful collection READ BY THE AUTHOR! You really get to meet another side of Jamie Lee, the mother side. It turns out that she is not only a very talented scary movie actress, but she can also channel the child in herself with her writing!

WONDERFUL!

I recommend this book to all adoptive parents. It's so endearing and everything your looking for in a book for "us". :)

Wonderful book for both new adoptive parents and adoptees

I found this book many years ago and picked it up for myself. I was adopted when I was 5 and am very fortunate. This book really does show how special are adoptive children. I've since bought about 6 copies (also had to replace the one my dog ate!). I've used it as a gift to various friends who have adopted as a way to share the adoption story with their child so that they knew how very special they are.
