About the Book
This book focuses on children who have been removed from their homes due abuse or neglect and are currently residing in foster care. The mixed up, confused feelings children feel when feeling safe with foster families, but still visiting birth parents can cause lots of acting out behaviors. This book explores those emotions in an attempt to help children see they are not alone in their emotions. This area of focus is a much needed topic for those who work with children in the foster care system.
