Author J.E. Flancbaum proudly announces the release of her debut children's book, The A&A Twins: Gotcha Day. Inspired by her own multiracial, adoptive family, this heartwarming story offers readers a glimpse into the joy and love surrounding the adoption of twin girls, Ava and Amya.
The A&A Twins: Gotcha Day tells the heartwarming tale of Ava and Amya's celebration of their adoption day, known as "Gotcha Day," when they officially became a part of their forever family. Through the eyes of the girls, readers are introduced to the special traditions their family holds dear, including dressing up in fancy clothes, reminiscing over precious memories in their family memory box, and enjoying a special family dinner. Most touching of all is the story shared by Mommy and Daddy, recounting the moment the judge made their family complete—creating a celebration filled with joy, love, and deep connection.
"I wanted to share a story that reflects the beauty of adoption and the love that binds a family together," says Flancbaum. "Ava and Amya’s Gotcha Day is a special celebration, and I hope it will resonate with other families who have experienced adoption, especially those with multiples or multiracial families."
Flancbaum’s personal experience as a mother of twin girls, who were adopted into her family, serves as the heart of this story. As a registered nurse by day and a writer by night, she is passionate about telling stories that shine a light on the diverse dynamics of modern families. Through her writing, she aims to normalize adoption experiences, create positive dialogue around multiracial families, and offer support to those who can relate to her family's journey.
The A&A Twins: Gotcha Day is an ideal read for families with adopted children, those with multiracial or blended family structures, and those who are fans of stories that highlight the uniqueness of sibling relationships, especially among twins.
This beautiful, uplifting story is not only a tribute to adoption but also to the special traditions and memories that define a family. Flancbaum hopes her book will inspire readers to embrace their own family’s unique journey, no matter how it was formed.
