What Readers Are Saying
Amanda R
Parent
"This book brought tears to my eyes and comfort to my child’s heart. My daughter, who is adopted, saw herself in Sophia in a way no other story has managed. Melissa Nelson’s writing is honest, beautiful, and full of healing. It opened the door for conversations we didn’t know how to start."
Mr. Kevin D.
2nd Grade Teacher
"Sophia and the Secret of the Glass House belongs in every classroom. It gently opens space for children to talk about identity, emotions, and what ‘home’ means to them. I’ve used it during empathy lessons, and it resonated deeply with students of all backgrounds."
Dr. Simone Clarke
Child Psychologist
"Melissa Nelson has created a powerful therapeutic tool disguised as a children’s book. Her story uses metaphor and imagination in a way that invites emotional reflection without overwhelming young readers. I’ve already recommended it to several families in my care."
