Annotation

Some kids are born to stand out while others shine brightest in their shadows. Shadow Siblings: Discovering Your Unknown Superpower is about a young girl realizing that despite having a brother with a unique medical situation, she is grateful to be in a position that supports her brother and even makes her feel like it's her superpower to help him. The main character Emma discovers that many families consist of having kids with special needs, challenges, or circumstances that make them different. Various children are introduced within this story that also have siblings who experience their own unique challenges, ultimately helping Emma realize she is not alone. This is a story of hope, love, and acceptance ideal for all ages while bringing a spotlight to kids who we affectionately refer to as Shadow Siblings. The book concludes with questions to ask shadow siblings as well as questions to ask those who know them.
