Reviews
Pamela Smith, Communications Professional and Youth Advocate — This children’s book offers a gentle way to spark meaningful conversations about belonging, acceptance, and understanding within families. While not prescriptive, it provides a thoughtful framework parents/guardians can use to guide discussions with their children. The beautifully illustrated pages bring the message to life, making it both engaging and visually captivating for readers of all ages.
Beatrice Klokpah, LCSW-S — As a mental health professional, I found this book to be a powerful exploration of identity, family dynamics, and the longing for belonging. Through the lens of two half-brothers, the author captures the complexities of growing up in blended families, navigating differing relationships with their fathers, and making sense of adult behaviors that often feel confusing to children. The story offers an authentic look at how young people process love, loyalty, and rejection—reminding us of the resilience of children while also highlighting the profound impact of family systems on emotional development.
Leslie Barner, Director of Publishing, FamilyLife — This beautifully illustrated, heartwarming story explores important themes of belonging, self-worth, and blended family dynamics in a way that is entertaining, relatable, and thought-provoking. Told from a child’s perspective, it reminds us all of the power of love, family, affirmation, and connection.
