A review by msgabbythelibrarian
When the Babies Came to Stay by Christine McDonnell

4.0

A picture book about community, acceptance, and adoption, When the Babies Came to Stay is so sweet. Libraries are one of the best places I feel like where community and acceptance occur so I adore that the librarian is the woman who takes the children in and gives them names. I would love to adopt myself some day. (And of course the names are inspired by books)

There is so much more to family than blood. I say it all the time and this reinforces that!
