Description

Made In China touches on two seemingly unrelated subjects - adoption and sibling relations. As told in this story. These are intertwined and very important to one young child who literally was ""made in China."" The story begins when the child is told by her older sister, in a teasing manner, that she is adopted from China, and ""marked"" just like the broom and their toys. Upset, she goes to her father who tells her the story of how she came to be their child but ""you're not made like a toy, you were made in China to give us joy."" And, he also reminds her that ""you are much more than what people say about you."" The story is resolved with her older sister and she is reassured that ""In all the wide world we couldn't love you more.""
