Let’s talk about adoption!

Two parents wonder which day was the best day of their life together.
Was it the day when they got married or when they decided to start a family?
Was it the day they met you or the day you all became a forever family?
Follow their story and discover which of all these wonderful days was
the BEST DAY EVER!

Through the voice of parents, this book aims at

  1. planting the seed of discussion with your child,
  2. talking openly and plainly about adoption in general, and
  3. encouraging and normalizing conversation about your child's adoption story.
Ideal from a very young age, the book describes in a simple and very generic manner, the parents’ choice to adopt, as well as the process and implications of building a family through adoption.
The narrative is effortlessly adaptable to all adoption stories as there is no mention of gender, age, religion, ethnicity, or adoption type (domestic or international, open or closed).
Parents can easily build up on the story by adding their own anecdotes as they read.
NOTE that there is purposely no reference made to birth stories/ families as they can be as singular and unique as every child, which is why the last section of the book is specifically dedicated to your child’s own unique birth, placement and adoption story. You can add pictures and age-appropriate information as they grow, making the book as unique as they are!

This is the perfect gift for adoptive parents and adopted children of any age to promote open, casual and very likely never-ending, discussion about their life and the building of their Forever family.

The day we got married was perfect! This must have been the Best Day Ever! Or was it?

Could there be a better day than this one?

The reader can easily build up on these very generic situations, and add their own anecdotes and experiences. From the second reading, invite your child to tell what event is happening on the page, read, elaborate simply and/or ask a short question. Add information little by little, and encourage the discussion, always gently and simply.

Personalize the last chapter with your child's unique birth story!

After years of dedicated teaching at the university level, Nathalie Iseli-Chan made the life-changing decision to move from the vibrant energy of Hong Kong to a peaceful city in Alberta, Canada, where she can devote her time and attention to her young, spirited children.

Her journey through adoption has not only transformed her life but has also profoundly influenced her character.

As a fierce advocate for clear and honest communication with adopted children, Nathalie champions the use of positive adoption language to foster understanding and acceptance.

Writing has become a vital outlet, allowing her to articulate her thoughts and emotions as an ambivert. In June 2023, she proudly launched her debut book, "The Best Day Ever! A Simple Story to Explain the Adoption Story to Your Child," which she adapted into French, Italian, and Spanish reaching a wider audience.

Currently, she is actively writing and illustrating an exciting collection of children's books that delve into important adoption themes, making a lasting impact on families navigating similar journeys.

Great book for adoptive parents
Nice little book about adoption with a fresh and unique drawing style. I love how the book leaves room for personalization and encourages adopted children to find their own voice. As an adoptive parent myself, this book is being a great way to start talking about adoption with my child.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book to help parents talk about adoption

    First time that I see a book that has both a story and a life book. It’s awesome because you can read it over and over and add parts of your own story as the children grow.

    Love the feel of the book. A nice glossy cover but the paper for the life book is perfect to write on.
