In this picture book, adopted siblings who are playing at the playground deal with another child commenting on their visible differences and questioning if they're really siblings. The younger brother is shaken by this experience, and the older sister reassures her brother that they are "real siblings." She gives examples of their special bond, talking about ways that they support and care for each other, and mentioning some shared experiences. She also talks about her memory of their dads bringing him home for the first time.
This book is from Magination Press, the children's publishing arm of the American Psychological Association. Their books usually include notes for parents at the end, but this one doesn't, at least in the advance copy that I read. I thought that was a missed opportunity. The story shows how siblings can reassure each other, but I think that an author's note with information about how parents can support adopted kids would have been helpful.
I received a temporary digital copy from NetGalley, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
