Summary: Krizia at Ashley River Creative Arts El.
Comment: I liked the book called Jin Woo . The book was about when this Korean baby is adopted by a family. Their was a boy in that family. He was so anxious to play with the baby. The pictures were very colorful. The story had details for the pictures. It looked like there was a lot of effort. I vote for this book 100% Because it's so great.

Summary: Megan from Ashley River Creative Arts El.
Comment: The book Jin Woo tells a story with words but you don't have to look at the words. It's just as good with the illustrations. The illustrations show brilliant and life like pictures. Bright and beautiful illustrations can really catch one's eye. Chris's pictures are the best. I love his creative pictures. I give it five stars.

Summary: A sibling's story of adoption
Comment: Eve Bunting, the popular children's author has written this book about a boy named David's feelings when his new brother, Jin Woo, arrives from Korea. David, who is Caucasian like his parents, wonders if there was as much anticipation and fanfare when he was adopted. He deals with mixed feelings as his parents get the phone call and they all drive to the airport to pick up Jin Woo. He thinks he's happy about the new arrival, but he's unsure about what changes the baby will bring, and if his parents will have still have enough time & love for him. (When his mother says "I can't wait for the baby to arrive," David thinks, "I can wait. I could wait longer.")
When Jin Woo arrives (about six months old, I'd say), David gets to hold him, and when he plays "this little piggy" with his little brother, he is the recipient of Jin Woo's first laugh.
When they arrive home, his mother hands him a letter which she says is from Jin Woo. "...I'm glad that I have you to help me. Mom and Dad told me how much they love you. And how much they will love me. They say they have so much love inside of them that what they give to me won't take any away from you." David is reassured and feels happy. The ending illustration is a lovely family picture of the four of them.
The illustrator, Chris Sontpiet (a Korean adoptee himself) has pictured the tale in brightly-lit watercolors and animated expressions that lend a bit of a hyper-real aura to the illustrations. The emotions are nicely accentuated and David's contrasting feelings are well-portrayed.
