We Don’t Match — But We Belong
The moment your child wonders if different is okay
Some children grow up in families that don't fit one box — and one day, the world notices. This book is for those children and for the grown-ups who love them.
We Don't Match — But We Belong follows a young boy from a moment of confusion on the playground to a moment of pride — guided by his sister, their story, and their two dogs who figured out belonging before anyone had to explain it. Warm, honest, and written for the read-aloud moment, this book gives families the language to celebrate difference, belonging, and love — and leaves every child knowing exactly where they stand.
For families at the intersection — transracial adoptive, multiracial, blended, and any family raising a child whose life is more than one thing at once. For families whose love is bigger than their differences. And for any child who has ever felt different on the inside, even when the world couldn't see why.

A note before you read
This book is for any family that looks a little different and for any child who has ever wondered why. It's also for families who want to open that conversation before the world does. A few moments may spark questions. Here's a word or two to have ready:
"What does belong mean?"
It means this is your place and these are your people. You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
"Is different okay?"
Yes! Different is not just okay, it's something to be proud of. That's what this whole book is about.
"What's a birth mom?"
A birth mom is who a child was born to. Some children are raised by a different family than the one they were born into. Both are real. Both matter. And whatever your family looks like—you belong.
