From the noble strength of Crazy Horse to the innovative genius of Steve Jobs, Adoptees Who Changed the World is a board book introduction to people who made a difference in the world–and who also happen to be adopted

Simple text by Lorri Antosz Benson and adorable illustrations by Juanita Londoño-Gaviria teach young readers about the contributions of eight famous adoptees: George Washington Carver, Crazy Horse (Tashunca-Uitco), Nelson Mandela, Faith Hill, Steve Jobs, Jamie Foxx, Simone Biles, and Kristen Chenoweth. A quote from each hero is included on each spread, along with colorful, delightful artwork.

Emma ★★★★★

I bought this for my niece during a family adoption celebration, and she loves flipping through the sturdy board pages to see Steve Jobs's face. It's a clever way to highlight how adoption shaped great leaders, and the illustrations are genuinely engaging for toddlers.

Sofia ★★★★★

I was surprised how sturdy the board book pages are—perfect for little hands that tend to be rough. The mix of historical figures, from Crazy Horse to Steve Jobs, sparked a great conversation with my older child about adoption. It’s rare to find a baby book this meaningful.

Amelia G. ★★★★★

My 3-year-old loves pointing at the faces on each page, and I appreciate that the board book format can handle her grabbing and turning the pages. It’s a smart way to introduce history and adoption in one go—Crazy Horse and Steve Jobs are both in there, which surprised me.
