Help your child to better understand the uniqueness and complexities of adoption.

This is a kids’ book about adoption. It explores what makes each adoption story so unique and special – and breaks down some of the complexities that come with it.

This book was made to help kids aged 5-9 understand adoption: what it is and what it means for everyone involved. It was written to open the door for anyone to start a conversation about adoption, told through the eyes of a grown-up who's adopted their kid as well as a kid who has been adopted.

A Kids Book About Adoption features:
  • A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
  • A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
  • An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.
