A New Children's Picture Book - Ages 3-7
Brothers like night and day - and loved exactly the same way.
A playful, rhyming picture book about two brothers who look nothing alike - and the big, beautiful question that brings them closer together.
Through the eyes of curious big brother Lucien, young readers explore why siblings can look so different - and discover that love runs so much deeper than appearances.
"Because families don't have to look the same to be the same."
Written in lilting rhyme that begs to be read aloud, with vibrant, joyful illustrations by Fajar Afif. A book that sparks big conversations in the gentlest, most delightful way.
"Now he sits and smiles at me,
his eyes aren't brown,
they're blue..."
NOPE!
"Not like me one bit!
I wonder how that's true?"
- A peek inside -
Curious, thoughtful, and full of questions about the world around him.
Playful, giggly, and happiest when following his big brother around.

"We've read this every night for three weeks. My daughter asks for it by name - she calls it 'the brothers book' and won't go to sleep without it."
"As a teacher I'm always searching for books that reflect the diverse families in my classroom. This one does it with such warmth and humour - the kids were completely captivated."
"My son asked 'Mum, why do me and my brother look different?' and I pulled this book out. It answered his question better than I ever could."
"The illustrations are extraordinary - joyful, warm, and full of life. But it's the message that will stay with you long after the last page. A future classic."
