The Little Girl is written by Phil Wong and illustrated with beautiful watercolors by Fenlin Lee. The story is a sweet tale of a man finding an abandoned infant girl. Despite a bunch of reasons to keep him from adopting her, he opens his heart and home to her. This story describes the bond between a father and a daughter.
This short story was moving and the pictures were softly painted which fit the story.
If you’re considering adoption, this is a book to read and it was written by the author with that in mind. In fact, I met the author and this book is close to his heart and the ministry behind it. The book was written for the girls in China who have been abandoned and need loving parents. But as a Taiwanese-American, I consider myself immensely blessed and touched after reading this book.

Dear Jean,
Thanks for your kind words about the Little Girl. I’ll forward it to Fenlin Lee. I’m sure she’ll be encouraged.
Great meeting you and may the Lord bless you richly.
Sincerely,
Phil Wong

Hi Jean,
These illustrations look great! We have a heart for adoption, I pray that the Lord will see fit to bless our family with some children in need of homes at some point in the future.
