Author: Penny Jaye (Penny Reeve)
Jayden James thought his family of five was perfect – until last Wednesday when Mitchell David arrived.
Now the car’s too small, picnics are ruined and no one’s paying attention to Jayden anymore. Jayden knows something needs to be done. And he’s the only one who can do it!
A gentle story about acceptance, belonging and what it means to be family.
Suitable for ages 4 and up.
Absolutely beautiful story with subtle hints towards fostering and adoption.
The struggles of a new child settling into his foster family and another child coming to accept the changes that are occurring. Such beautifully written story that can be adapted to work for other family situations.
And the illustrations are so well suited and capture the words perfectly.

A beautiful story with a heartfelt message about accepting the newcomer into your circle. The story is set in an adoption / foster care setting and explores the emotions and changes that adopted / foster kids and families may experience. Our family thoroughly enjoyed reading this story together.
