Two houses. Two rooms. One Kimmie. But now Dad's house feels different.

Kimmie's world used to make sense: yellow curtains at Mom's, a star-shaped lamp at Dad's. Then Dad's house gained a new stepbrother, five-year-old Theo, who is gap-toothed, endlessly energetic, and always wanting to show her something. When Dad's phone buzzes in the middle of their Saturday breakfast and Theo needs him, Kimmie quietly wonders: Where do I fit now?

Brave enough to speak up, Kimmie tells Dad how she feels. Dad listens, and they start something new: a Daddy and Kimmie Day, with pancakes, a walk to the library, and no rushing. Along the way, Kimmie discovers that Theo is feeling the changes too, and that making room for someone new doesn't mean losing what matters most.

Kimmie and the Stepbrother Situation is a warm, honest picture book about blended families, big feelings, and the slow, quiet moments that turn a new house into home. It shows children that it's okay to feel left out, that speaking up can lead to connection, and that a family can grow without anyone being replaced.

Ideal for children adjusting to a stepfamily, and for parents, stepparents, teachers, and counselors looking for a gentle way to start the conversation.
