Oliver, A Story About Adoption -- Reviews

Oliver, A Story About Adoption book cover

"'Oliver' by Lois Wickstrom is a heartwarming tale of young Oliver wondering what life would be with his birth parents. Could life be better, would he have more freedom? Oliver soon discovers his adoptive parents have more than enough love to fill his life. Enjoy, 'Oliver' and see for yourself the gift love can give to a child."
Kim's Reviews~~Reviewed by Kim Gaona http://kimgaona.com 

 

"I love this story because it describes and then solves Oliver's dilemma in such an adorably simple way, making it easy for kids to understand why Oliver feels sorry for himself, and showing quite ingeniously how he comes to terms with his 'fate', thanks to his understanding adoptive parents."   Christine Spindler

 

"Every child wonders and at times hopes that they are adopted and that their birth family is cooler than the one they're living with. But to not know for sure would be awful. This feeling of the unknown is portrayed through Oliver, and the unconditional love of his parents' helps him settle back into life as normal.  Lois June Wickstrom obviously did her research on this topic, and knows her stuff.  Add in the adorable illustrations by Priscilla Marden, which bring Oliver and his family to life, and a charming story is created. "   -- Simply Ebooks
