Age: Preschool-1st grade
Family: Adoption

"Why didn't you leave me where I was?" asked Boris to his adoptive parents. Not wanting to hold back their son, Boris returns to the swamp from which he came. Boris feels like he belongs amidst the other creatures that have gills and big eyes like him but that is where the similarities end. They didn't eat the same things as he did, and they talked in a different way--even laughed differently.

Spoiler

With messages of love from his parents, Boris decides to head home.

A fantastical tale that can be used as a tool to discuss adoption. A unique offering in this topic but may be off-putting to kids that desire something straightforward.
