Made In China touches on two seemingly unrelated subjects - adoption and
sibling relations. As told in this story. These are intertwined and very
important to one young child who literally was ""made in China."" The
story begins when the child is told by her older sister, in a teasing
manner, that she is adopted from China, and ""marked"" just like the
broom and their toys. Upset, she goes to her father who tells her the
story of how she came to be their child but ""you're not made like a
toy, you were made in China to give us joy."" And, he also reminds her
that ""you are much more than what people say about you."" The story is
resolved with her older sister and she is reassured that ""In all the
wide world we couldn't love you more.""
