About the Author Dara Read was born in Australia in the 80s and was adopted by her mum and dad who love parties as much as she does. Did we mention that Dara loves parties? She does, especially if she can dance! Dara now lives by the beach in Sydney with her family. Her favourite things are cuddles with her kids, being in the ocean and almost anything that sparkles. On the more serious side, Dara is a writer and social justice lawyer. She has worked as a children's lawyer and youth worker. She has also been a senior ministerial adviser for children who are adopted and in out-of-home care.

Never had I read a book which spoke to contemporary adoption and permanent care so well. Through my networks of foster and adoptive parents I often hear of primarily school children struggling with telling their friends that they don't live with their birth parents. These children see themselves as being just like all of the other children at school and they are proud of who they are. But their friends often don't know how to react. This book speaks to those children. It speaks to their friends. It speaks to the parents of those friends. It is a book I love to read with my adoptive and biological children and a book I share with my family and friends who have connections with adoption or permanent care." - Kelly - mum of Hope (age 6), Abigail (age 3) and Stevie (age 3)
