Called by reviewers “essential,” “unique,” “charming,” The Baby with Three Families, Two Countries, and One Promise<\/em> is a children’s book designed to be read by parents to a child adopted from a foreign country. The story recounts the separate emotional journeys taken by prospective adoptive parents and a biological mother in order to arrive at an adoption. The complex adoption process is “stripped down to its simplest form for a concise and sincere look at the topic.” In the final pages of the book, the adoptive parents tuck their baby in at night, telling him his story–that he has three families, two countries, and a promise for the future to return to the country of his birth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What does a boy do when he has to spend his summers on a dry, windy farm, living in a house with no water or electricity? No TV, no radio, no telephone, no bathroom, no refrigerator. This was ranch life long ago. Don Parks grew up on a family ranch in the rural Great Plains. The sky was big and blue. Cattle roamed the fields. Cowboys came and went. Most important of all, the ranch\u2019s water was supplied by a faithful windmill. Every night it lulled the boy to sleep, and every day it worked alongside the family in the sun. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
When Don Parks grew up, he began painting the childhood he remembered. His paintings are set alongside a story by his wife, longtime educator Minda Parks. Together, the narrative and the paintings tell the history of windmills on the Great Plains.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Long ago, a mother wove a blanket for First Daughter Wenonah. Wenonah was warm and safe from the cold prairie winds with her blanket. When her father left for war, she gave him her blanket for protection. The war party returned without her father and Wenonah slipped away to find him. She searched for miles in the cold dark night, until she could walk no more and lay down to sleep under a tree fearing she would never see her father again. Flowers grew in the night and covered her like her beloved blanket, keeping her safe and warm. When she woke, her father was beside her still wearing her blanket. Now every springtime, the blanket flowers bloom again to remind us of brave Wenonah. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
