Tell Me a Real Adoption Story by Betty Jean Lifton
Written by an adoptee for adoptees
Most others are written for the benefit of the adoptive parents. This one is special and the only one I'd read to a little adoptling

Well, i have yet to find an adoption book i like for young children.
These books are in general uplifting and make you feel good for being you no matter how different you are.

ETA: I have as of yet, not had the free time to check out Heather's suggestion. I'm sure it is good.
