Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking about their own 'beginning' or when they want to celebrate the joyful, chosen nature of their family. It is an essential resource for families formed through adoption, providing a script for a story that is often told and retold as a bedtime ritual. The book follows a young girl as she asks her parents to recount the night she was born and the journey they took to bring her home. While the specific context is adoption, the emotional themes of belonging, anticipation, and unconditional love resonate with any child who finds comfort in hearing their origin story. Jamie Lee Curtis uses humor and warmth to demystify the adoption process, making it feel like a grand, happy adventure. It is perfectly aged for 3 to 7 year olds, offering a gentle way to affirm that being 'chosen' is a source of immense pride and joy within a family.
