A New Children's Picture Book - Ages 3+
Brothers like night and day - and loved exactly the same way.
A playful, rhyming picture book about two brothers who look nothing alike - and the big, beautiful question that brings them closer together.
Through the eyes of curious big brother Lucien, young readers explore why siblings can look so different - and discover that love runs so much deeper than appearances.
"Because we don't have to look the same to be a family."
Written in lilting rhyme that begs to be read aloud, with vibrant, joyful illustrations by Fajar Afif. A book that sparks big conversations in the gentlest, most delightful way.

"Now he sits and smiles at me,
his eyes aren't brown,
they're blue..."
NOPE!
"Not like me one bit!
I wonder how that's true?"
- A peek inside -
Curious, thoughtful, and full of questions about the world around him.
Playful, giggly, and happiest when following his big brother around.
