About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like the odd one out in your family, especially if you are expecting a new baby or navigating the complexities of adoption. It is a gentle yet powerful tool for children who struggle with the feeling that they don't quite fit in or who worry that a new sibling will have a more legitimate claim to the family's love. The story follows Emily, an ordinary girl in a family of magical fairies. When she learns her mother is pregnant with a biological fairy child, her insecurities about being adopted and non-magical resurface. Through a mystical journey with her brother, Emily explores an alternative life, eventually realizing that belonging is defined by love and choice rather than shared DNA or special powers. This 170-page chapter book is perfect for 7 to 10 year olds who enjoy fantasy but need support processing big feelings about family identity.
