Elizabeth Greenwell

My Name is Nadir Elizabeth Greenwell

It's the morning of Nadir's 6th birthday. Suddenly he realizes that he doesn't know much about the mom who gave birth to him. Curious, he asks his adoptive mom about his past. Will she be able to fill the gap and help him learn about his birthmother? This story gently explores the difficult emotions that surround birthdays and other special days for adoptees. With themes of transracial families and foster care, this book seeks to fill in the gap by providing a story that shows respect to all three sides of the adoption triad. A great resource for adoptive families, foster families, and counselors. You may also want to consider Joseph's Unique Family Tree, a story about open adoption also by Elizabeth Greenwell.
