Wings & Roots

By Sloane Bishop

Charlie has big hair and even bigger questions.

She knows she was adopted. She knows she is loved. But she's always wondered: Where did my curls come from? Who else has this laugh? Is there someone out there who looks like me?

When a DNA test reveals a match, Charlie does something brave. She packs her backpack, grabs her stuffed sloth Simon, and catches a bus to Charlotte with a small plant in a blue pot and a whole lot of hope.

What she finds on the other side of that door will change everything she thought she knew about family. Charlie learns that love doesn't get smaller when you share it. It just makes more room.

Wings & Roots is a warm, hopeful picture book about adoption, identity, and belonging. It's for every child who has ever carried a question they didn't know how to ask. Inspired by the author's own experience with DNA testing and finding biological family.
