Our Hearts Match is a beautifully illustrated children’s book about a mother T-Rex who lovingly hatches and raises her baby Brontosaurus. Though they don’t look alike, their bond is undeniable. As they go through their day, the baby notices differences-their necks, sizes, and colors-but also discovers all the things that make them alike: their love for dancing, their joyful roars, and, most importantly, their hearts that match.

Inspired by author Victoria Niño’s personal journey with egg donor conception, this touching story helps parents navigate conversations about donor conception, adoption, and non-traditional family structures with love and confidence.

＂Research shows that talking to donor-conceived children about their origins as early as possible is beneficial, yet it’s one of the hardest things for parents to do,＂ says Niño. ＂This book helps families share these beautiful love stories with pride.＂

With vibrant illustrations by Gal Weizman, Our Hearts Match is a must-have for families looking for books that celebrate the deep and unconditional bond between parent and child-no matter how they came to be.
