About this book

A beautiful story about adoption—and how each child is a blessing. Every night before she goes to sleep, a kangaroo prays under the stars for a baby to love and hold.

Now, every night before they fall asleep, Momma-Roo and Little One thank God for all their blessings . . . but especially for each other.

The book closes with a quote from Ephesians 1:5: “In love he destined us for adoption to himself. . . .”
