"Miles Comes Home gives us much-needed representation by showing us an older child adopted from foster care by a same-sex couple. A highly recommended title that should find a welcome place in many homes and libraries." Mombian
"A tender look at adoption from a shy and sensitive boy's perspective, this book is a necessary addition to the shelves." School Library Journal
"This is a joyous depiction of the good that adoptive and foster families can bring
into the world." Booklist
Miles wakes up on his adoption day with butterflies in his tummy. He's excited, but also nervous and a little scared. His new new dads, Teddy and David, bring tender support, and waiting at home is his new big sister Michelle.
She can't wait to show Miles his room, take him ice skating, and share all the amazing joy that make their family great. Love takes time, but as they get to know each other better, the kindness of his sister and the dedication of his dads help their bond grow.
Authored by Sarah S. Brannen and gorgeously illustrated by Forrest Burdett, this sweet book celebrates gay parents and the power of family.
Published in partnership with media advocacy organization GLAAD, this empowering book positively represents LGBTQ families.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Dallas, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
