My five year old loves this book

I truly loved this book. It is a very kid-friendly and age-appropriate way for me to discuss my five year old's origin story with him. The underlying theme of the story is that the child was born out of a sense of being loved and wanted. It starts with a mommy who finished school bought a house and has lots of friends and family. For all intents and purposes she is very much a success. But she realizes there is something missing. The imagery is very sweet. It is an illustration of her with her heart showing and there appears to be a puzzle piece missing. It follows her on her journey to find a donor at the "bank of hopes and dreams" and a doctor who can help. The doctor uses the "donation" to make a baby on Mommy's belly. In the end mommy has the baby and you see a picture of her heart with the puzzle piece filled in. On the puzzle piece is a picture of a baby. My son loves this story. He calls it, "the book about me." Highly recommend this book to any donor-moms looking to have this conversation with your kids.
