The story was inspired by Sophie and the adoption of Sadie by my family. It focuses on the themes of friendship and adjusting to change.  Features such as a friendship quiz and pages for children to write and draw their ideas about friendship may be reproduced. It was published in June 2019 by Amazing Things Press. Â
