This picture book raises awareness about adoption
Author Sujatha Balakrishnan has released a new picture book titled 'We Are Family' to promote awareness and understanding of adoption. The story, inspired by her daughter's journey, emphasizes that family is defined by love and care rather than biological ties.
Why it matters
The book serves as a cultural tool to normalize diverse family structures and educate children and parents about the adoption process.
Sujatha Balakrishnan recalls how her daughter, Sai, first told her that she wanted to adopt a child over 32 years ago. “When she was just 15 , over a conversation where we were talking about different types of families, she told me that she wanted to mother a child through adoption,” says the Bengaluru-based theatre practitioner.
The article is a straightforward profile of a book launch and its social intent, maintaining a neutral and informative tone.
