Choosing Rose

A Children's Book About Love, Family, and Being Raised by a Single Mom by Choice

Choosing Rose is a tender, beautifully illustrated children's picture book that helps children understand that families are formed with intention, courage, and love even when they look different from the traditional mold.

Inspired by a real conversation between a little girl and her mom, Choosing Rose follows a young girl who wonders: "Why don't I have a daddy?" Through a loving and age-appropriate dialogue, she learns that her family was created with deep meaning and affection and that different families can be just as strong, joyful, and full of love.

This gentle story supports:

- Solo Moms by Choice and donor-conceived children

- Families with nontraditional structures

- Parents seeking easy language to explain family origins

- Therapists and clinics needing inclusive children's resources

Whether your family was created by choice, love, or unique circumstances, Choosing Rose opens warm conversations about belonging, identity, and family pride.

Perfect for: bedtime routines, school libraries, family story time, fertility clinic waiting rooms, and gift giving.

Because every child deserves to know their story with confidence and joy.
