Natalie And The Night Sky

ABout:

The best summer of Natalie’s life starts to feel a bit lonely as she spends time around her best friend’s family. For the first time Natalie questions what it is it like to have a brother or sister? As an only child to two devoted parents she will never know.

Join Natalie as she travels from loneliness to connection and discovers sometimes the best things in life are the people you can collect into your family as you grow.

Excerpt:

Natalie looks over at Steven as he squishes two whole smores together and shoves them into his mouth. She shakes her head and laughs.

Shayla leans over to her friend and whispers, “Natalie, why do you ask? Do you wish you had a brother or a sister?”

Natalie shrugs and says “I’m not sure. Sometimes, I think it might be nice to have a brother or a sister to hang out with. It is usually just me, Mom and Dad.”
