Annie and Khalil

Annie and Khalil meet a new friend on the playground and spend some time explaining how they - although so different in appearance - are siblings. They recognize their similarities, explore their differences, and celebrate their special and unconditional bond.

This book is intended as a tool for children in multiracial sibling dynamics developed through adoption, but it can be enjoyed by everyone! It is a great way for families to learn about and grow empathetic toward unique family compositions that may not mirror their own.

I would like to acknowledge that this book is based on my own personal family dynamic and that our experience as a transracial family is not a representation of all transracial families. With the amount of curious (and sometimes imposing) questions we get asked when we are existing as a family outside of our home, I wanted to create a tool for my children when their peers ask them questions of curiosity and I am not around with all the words.
