The Book

Annabelle's Biggest Adventure — Meeting My Baby Sister

When Annabelle discovers she's going to be a big sister, she feels a swirl of excitement, wonder, and a few butterflies too. Follow Annabelle on her biggest adventure yet — the day she meets her baby sister for the very first time. A tender, beautifully illustrated story about the love that expands when a family grows, perfect for sharing with little ones navigating this magical milestone.

Why This Story Matters

“Every family has a story, and sometimes finding the right words to share that story with our little ones isn't always easy. Annabelle's Biggest Adventure was inspired by our own family's journey, with the hope of helping children understand the love, excitement and special people who bring families together — including the wonderful role of a tummy mummy.”

The Heart Behind the Stories

Meet Anita Fiorenza

Author, Mother & Family-Building Advocate

Every family has a story worth telling, and for author Anita Fiorenza, that belief comes from both personal experience and years of supporting families on their journeys to parenthood.

As a mother whose own family grew through international surrogacy, Anita understands the extraordinary love, hope and kindness that can bring a family together. Through her professional work and community advocacy, she has also had the privilege of guiding and supporting many intended parents on their overseas surrogacy journeys.

These experiences, together with her own family's journey, inspired the creation of Every Family Has A Story Publishing — an independent Australian publishing brand dedicated to celebrating family, belonging and the beautiful stories that make us who we are.

Beginning with Annabelle's Biggest Adventure – Meeting My Baby Sister, Anita hopes to create heartfelt children's books that encourage curiosity, inspire meaningful conversations and remind every child that their family story is something special.

"Because every family is unique, every journey matters, and every story deserves to be told."
