About this title

From the Author:

When my husband and I were preparing to travel internationally to adopt our daughter Anna, I worried about how our four-year-old daughter Carly would handle our extended separation. I looked for, but could not find, a book like Seeds of Love. As a professional writer and editor, I naturally felt compelled to address this void in the children's adoption literature -- and Seeds of Love was born!

Seeds of Love has been honored with several awards and critical recommendations -- which pleases the professional writer in me. But I feel the most gratified by the wonderful comments that I have received from families who have said Seeds of Love became a very special "friend" to their children during the family's adoption journey.

I hope our family's story comforts your family's hearts as well.

"Seeds of Love has story and charm that transcend its purpose." -- Carol Fenner, author of Yolanda's Genius, 1996 Newbery Honor Recipient
