It has also been told to Bella’s friends, classmates and teachers, and resonated with them as the story of Bella’s special life. Both Geraldine and Bella are delighted to now share her story with a wider audience. The Moon Child celebrates the importance of adoption but never forgets the parents who still love their child, but cannot be an active part of their life. It is also a story of belonging. As Bella herself says: “Be proud of being adopted. Don’t feel ashamed if your family is a different race – they are still your family. Even if you feel different, you are not. “I am very grateful Mum wrote this story for me – and now it can help other children and families.”

Amaris lives with his mean stepmother, the witch, on top of Mount Hermon by the Sea of Galilee. When Amaris was twelve years old, he grew feathers. This rather odd condition allows him to fly! Since he needs to molt to grow new feathers, he must live in a very cold climate. Mount Hermon's chilly mountain air is the perfect environment and allows Amaris a place to fly in isolation from the rest of the world. Amaris fears humans as the witch convinced him all human contact is dangerous, and if he were caught, he would be eaten! After the witch's death, Amaris discovers a handwritten note scribbled by the witch explaining how, through trickery, she stole him at birth from his natural parents and that he actually has a twin brother! Alone, abandoned, and isolated, Amaris decides to take a chance and seek his brother, hoping a reunion will bring a sense of belonging.

Ruth teaches Amaris not all humans are harmful and even gives him a clue on his twin brother's whereabouts. The story is about redemption. The reader will learn through Amari's trials that although our past does affect us, it does not have to define us. We can rise above our current circumstances and find fulfillment and a place of belonging. Amaris teaches us a brighter tomorrow awaits us if we will let go of our inner fears.
