When Friends Become Family

"We'll be friends forever, won't we, Pooh?" asked Piglet.

"Even longer," Pooh answered.

-A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Found family is a common literary trope exploring the idea that families extend beyond bloodlines to include the people we choose based on shared interest, experiences, and even adversity. 

This holiday season, when many of us live far from relatives or have lost touch with them over time, stories about found families feels especially meaningful. They remind us that the friends who show up for us, who know us deeply, are family too. 

We've curated a collection of titles from our catalog that explore found family themes that are perfect for anyone looking to lean into those friendships that mean so much.
