I received an e-arc of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fantastic book! I volunteer as a court appointed special advocate to speak for the needs and best interest of children in foster care. Sometimes the best thing is to go home with a parent or family member once they get the help they need to be the best parent they can be. Other times the best thing is to be adopted by a new family. The one thing that is always true is that they have a complex familial history whether we’re talking about blood family, foster, adoptive, etc.
This will be an amazing and important resource to help kids understand that their situation while different from many of their classmates is not completely unheard of. Many children come from unique family situations and that is ok. Love and caring is what makes a family and that is the most important part of the story no matter how many people help you grow up.
This will be an excellent book to have in libraries, foster homes, foster support organizations, child welfare offices and any non nuclear family and even in nuclear families so those children can better understand their peers.
5/5
