Praise for Just Right Family: An Adoption Story

"The affirming vision of adoptive sibling bonding is welcome. A book to broaden collections about families." —Kirkus Reviews

"Lopez’s succinct text approaches adoption from a young child’s perspective, emphasizing several reassuring themes... this succeeds as a new-sibling story and will be welcomed by interracial adoptive families." —Booklist
