Sandra Gerencher's book Second Chance is a children's book about a dog named Chance that is adopted from the dog shelter. It is written from Chance's perspective. Chance learns what it means to be adopted from the little boy in the family. The boy was adopted also, therefore, he knows what it means and explains it to Chance. If you are looking for a book to share with a child about being adopted then this would be a wonderful book to explore together.
