Adrianna Pakes Debuts Heartfelt Storybook, That's My Sister: Growing Up With My Special Needs Twin

LOS ANGELES - Jan. 7, 2025 - PRLog -- SuperCaptainBraveMan Books is proud to announce the highly anticipated release of That's My Sister: Growing Up With My Special Needs Twin. Written by new author Adrianna Pakes and illustrated by Victor Lodevico, That's My Sister is a touching story that captures the profound bond between twin sisters navigating life's joys and challenges together.

The picture book follows Adrianna and her twin sister, Alana, as they approach their high school graduation. While Adrianna is neurotypical, Alana is neurodivergent, and a final essay assignment prompts Adrianna to reflect deeply on their unique relationship. Through Adrianna's eyes, readers witness a heartfelt journey filled with love, resilience, and helping others to learn the value of diversity.

That's My Sister is more than just a story about siblinghood—it's a celebration of neurodiversity, a testament to the strength of families touched by disability, and a reminder of the power of unconditional love. With warmth and authenticity, Adrianna invites readers into her world, fostering understanding and compassion for the special needs community.

"This book is my way of honoring my sister, Alana, and the countless families who lovingly embrace neurodiversity every day," says Pakes. "Through our story, I hope readers see the strength in compassion, the importance of inclusion, and the profound impact of love."

Key themes in That's My Sister include:

• Family & Resilience: The ups and downs of growing up alongside a sibling with special needs
• Neurodiversity: A celebration of the unique perspectives and gifts that neurodivergent individuals bring to the world
