Synopsis

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.

Author Bio

Nicole Leinbach and Claire Reyhle are a mother and daughter duo who were inspired to write Shadow Siblings by their son and brother, respectively, who has a rare autoimmune disease that caused him to lose all of his body hair at the age of three. The years that followed led Leinbach to view the unique role her daughter, Claire, had as a sibling to a brother who was – as Leinbach often said – born to stand out. Though he typically received more attention and needed additional care at times, Claire also had a unique role in being in his “shadow”. Leinbach affectionately referred to Claire as his shadow sibling, and together they wrote Shadow Siblings: Discovering Your Unknown Superpower as a way to inspire and support other siblings who may also stand in the shadows of their own brothers or sisters who need extra care or get extra attention due to circumstances, medial challenges or experiences out of their control. Leinbach is also the author of the book Retail 101: The Guide to Marketing & Managing Your Retail Business, founder of RetailMinded.com and is globally recognized for her expertise in the business of retail.
