Author Nicole Manahan announces the release of her latest children’s book, I Love You Like You’re Mine, a moving tribute to the “parents of the heart” who raise children they did not biologically bear. At a time when blended families and non-traditional households are becoming the modern standard, Manahan’s book provides a much-needed narrative that celebrates the emotional bond over the biological one.
The story follows a mother who “dives right in” to the role of parenting, embracing the daily rhythms of child-rearing with enthusiasm and grace. From family dinners and baseball games to the quiet intimacy of bedtime tuck-ins, the book highlights that a parent doesn’t need to witness a child’s first crawl to be the person who shapes their world. Manahan, a professional in the publishing industry and an educator, wrote the story to honor the depth of love found in step-parenting and guardianship.
Motherhood is often defined by the beginning, be it by birth and infancy. But for so many of us, motherhood began in the ‘middle.’ This book is for every woman who stepped into a child’s life and realized that her heart was full, even if she wasn’t there for the start.
With its rhythmic, rhyming text and warm illustrations, I Love You Like You’re Mine is designed to be a staple for bedtime routines. It serves as both a mirror for children in blended families to see their lives validated and a tool for parents to express the magnitude of their devotion.
