SuitabookTell Me Again about the Night I Was Born
Jamie Lee Curtis
- Reading
- Read it together and pause at the repeated requests to retell the story.
- Themes
- Family creation through adoption: A girl asks her parents to recount how they became her family, including the journey to the hospital and bringing her home. The family bond and the child’s place within it are presented warmly and lovingly.
- Retelling and memory: The child uses “tell me again” to invite repeated recollection and demonstrates familiarity with the story. Repetition is portrayed as a loving way of revisiting family history rather than as a problem to solve.
- Worth knowing
- The wording described about the birth mother may invite careful, respectful discussion rather than assumptions about every adoption experience.
