Arches and Hearts is a gentle, lyrical picture book that explores the search for belonging, identity, and connection through the eyes of a transracial adoptee. With rhyming language and watercolor illustrations, it captures the quiet moments of wonder, confusion, and longing that come with growing up in a world where pieces of self can feel scattered.
Told through a childlike lens, this story opens space for all readers, especially adopted children and their families, to witness the complexity and beauty of adoption. It invites young readers to ask big questions and reminds adults of the quiet strength it takes to love, listen, and hold space for those questions without needing all the answers.
Whether read at bedtime or shared in a classroom, Arches and Hearts is a heart-centered book meant to open conversations, build empathy, and honor the invisible threads that tie us to where we come from and where we belong.
Perfect for readers ages 5 and up, and for the grown-ups who love them, this is a story for anyone who has ever asked: Where do I fit, and who am I becoming?
