"
Miles Comes Home
gives us much-needed representation by showing us an older child adopted from foster care by a same-sex couple. A highly recommended title that should find a welcome place in many homes and libraries."
Mombian
"A tender look at adoption from a shy and sensitive boy's perspective, this book is a necessary addition to the shelves."
School Library Journal
"This is a joyous depiction of the good that adoptive and foster families can bring
into the world."
Booklist
Miles wakes up on his adoption day with butterflies in his tummy. He's excited, but also nervous and a little scared. His new new dads, Teddy and David, bring tender support, and waiting at home is his new big sister Michelle.
She can't wait to show Miles his room, take him ice skating, and share all the amazing joy that make their family great. Love takes time, but as they get to know each other better, the kindness of his sister and the dedication of his dads help their bond grow.
