DiDio's children's picture book encourages families to make space for all the emotions that accompany adoption. She prompts adoptive parents to allow their children to give a voice to their innermost thoughts and feelings."

"A great book for those who have adopted children and want them to know it's ok to wonder about their past. This book covers feelings of belonging, not looking like other family members, questions about birth mothers and accepting that wondering about your past is a part of life. Another beautifully written and illustrated book for adoptive parents."

"As the adoptive mother of two now-young adults adopted as babies from Guatemala, I...admire the way How I Wonder addresses the complexity of adoption— how triggering the "dreaded family tree project" ...can be for kids who may not know their whole stories. A lovely addition to the adoption library."

Jessica O'Dwyer, author of "Mamalita: An Adoption Memoir"

"Very helpful to address ambiguous grief from an adoptee's viewpoint, and also to stress the importance of adoptive parents cultivating a sense of openness, curiosity, and trust so that they can walk alongside their adoptee. This book acknowledges the BothAnd of adoption— both its gains and its losses, which resonates for so many with the actual experience of being adopted."

Lori Holden (Lavender Luz), author of "The Open-Hearted Way to Open Adoption."

"Anna Maria has a definite understanding of both adoptee and adopter (as do I) which is rare in an author. Having read both to myself and to my son I think they will become invaluable in his ongoing understanding of his own adoption and his feelings around it."
