The Missing Piece

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A heartwarming story about adoption, belonging, and the many wonderful ways families are formed.

A loving family works together on a puzzle when an important piece is nowhere to be found. As the mother, father, and three children search high and low through cupboards, on bookshelves, outside, each and every day, it becomes apparent that they are waiting for the missing piece, hoping and loving that it will come along. And when it does, the overjoyed family is finally complete.

The Missing Piece is perfect for adoptive families, birth families, and anyone wanting to introduce young children to adoption with sensitivity and care. This story offers a simple, metaphor that helps toddlers and preschoolers understand belonging, connection, and hope.
