How It Feels to Be Adopted by Jill Krementz

How It Feels to Be Adopted by Jill Krementz

In these wonderfully straightforward accounts of what it means to children to be adopted, nineteen boys and girls, from eight to sixteen years old--and from every social background--confide their feelings about this crucial fact of their lives. It is deeply affecting to listen to these children as they reveal their questions, frustrations, difficulties, and joys with an honesty that is immediate, convincing, and stirring. Their generosity will provide solace and strength for thousands of other children who share with them the experience of being adopted--and who will be helped to understand that their own emotions are normal and appropriate.

Jill Krementz has worked as a journalist, photographer, and portraitist in addition to writing and photography children's books. Her reputation as a writer who knows how to listen to and interact with children has been cemented by the release of nineteen children's books. Sociologists and educators have praised her, and many young readers have flocked to her books. The Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award was given to Krementz in 1984 for imaginatively created books that make a difference. She currently resides in New York City.
