About The Book
Miles wakes up on his adoption day feeling excited, nervous, and even a little sad, but when his supportive new dads pick him up from his foster home they bring warmth and understanding. This is a joyful and heartwarming celebration of LGBTQ families, adoption, kindness, and love.
"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
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.
Authored by Sarah S. Brannen and gorgeously illustrated by Forrest Burdett, this sweet book celebrates gay parents and the power of family.
Published in partnership with media advocacy organization GLAAD, this empowering book positively represents LGBTQ families.

Raves and Reviews
Miles Comes Home gives us much-needed representation by showing us an older child adopted from foster care by a same-sex couple. Brannen's spare text and lively dialogue gently show us how Miles gradually comes to feel a part of his new family, for example, when he asks Michelle to paint him into a picture she is drawing. Her words work beautifully in tandem with Forrest Burdett's expressive illustrations to create a highly recommended title that should find a welcome place in many homes and libraries.
