Reach for this book if your child is navigating the complexities of a changing family structure or feels like they are constantly moving between worlds. It is an ideal pick for children who feel different from their peers or are curious about their own family history. Through a modern spin on the classic parent swap trope, the story follows twin brothers Ashar and Shaheer who were separated at birth and raised in different environments. One is an ice hockey player in a stable home, and the other is a frequent mover with a nomadic lifestyle. The book explores themes of belonging, the pain of secrets, and the joy of finding a missing piece of oneself. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a heartwarming look at how children can reclaim their identities while celebrating Pakistani American culture and Muslim faith. Parents will appreciate the respectful handling of divorce and the emphasis on sibling bonds.
