We Wanted You
Liz Rosenberg, Peter Catalanotto
Hardcover
(Roaring Brook Press, March 1, 2002)
The loving voices of a child's parents tell the story of an adoption, from waiting to meet the baby for the first time through the growth of a family. Peter Catalanotto's vibrant illustrations form a clever and dramatic counterpoint to the text: presented as a series of family snapshots, the images run backward in time.
