Book review: In my heart by Nandana Dev Sen

The story covers family born out of love and deeply connected. The little curious Mia is the face of kids who are surrounded by similar questions.

While discussing adoption is often ignored or hushed in our society, the book is a brave attempt encouraging us to talk about it. The approach to the topic of adoption is heartwarming and celebrating. The book becomes more endearing as it touches the extended families too.

The dynamics of the family and the other support system nurture Mia lovingly and helped her embrace her identity.

Warm illustrations add depth to every page. It just embraces the reader.

We need more books like this. This would be helpful for young children, parents, extended family, and other social circles of any bonded by heart family.

Rating: 5/5

Age-appropriate: 5 – 7-year-old

  2. First of all its great to see such a sensitive topic being addressed. Would love to read this book.

  3. Sounds like a very sweet and a very relevant book as well. I keep talking about how its important to raise our kids in a progressive way and given how adoption is still not a norm and many couples who want to adopt face family pressure too, I am so happy to see a book that teaches kids about adoption in a loving manner. I am def getting this book for Karma and recommending to my friends too. Great recommendation babe. Thank you! 🙂
