From the First Moment

Every family has its own beginning, and every adoption story is different.
Featuring families of different structures, cultures, and backgrounds, From the First Moment is a warm celebration of the love, joy, and gratitude found in adoptive families.
Through the voices of mothers, fathers, parents, and grandparents, children see family love in familiar moments: packed lunches, bedtime stories, warm hugs, laughter, learning, and firsts shared together.

This gentle picture book offers one heartfelt message:
Our stories are each our own.
Our families may look different.
We are so glad we get to be your family.
With tender language and colorful illustrations, From the First Moment gives adoptive families a loving way to celebrate their unique stories and the everyday moments that help family love grow.

A heartfelt read-aloud for:
• Adopted children ages 3-7
• Adoptive parents and grandparents
• Families with different structures and backgrounds
• Bedtime and family reading
• Adoption celebrations and meaningful gifts
• Classrooms, libraries, counselors, and family-support professionals

From the First Moment reminds children that every family has its own story and that love can be expressed in countless everyday ways.
