Message/content ok, weird illustration that therapy clients would get stuck on
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2019
I am a therapist who works with foster/adopted kids, and was looking to add something for younger children into my library. The message was fairly good, but there was one illustration in particular that I’m certain 99% of my clients would get stuck on... looks like a full-grown man’s face on a baby’s body or some kind of demon baby. Anyway, the content was not exceptional enough to justify keeping it with the problematic baby illustration.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2020
This book really holds space for the negative and positive feelings a child who has undergone family transitions may have.
It is child-centered (I’ve gotten other children’s adoption books that are very focused on the new parents’ connection with the child so this was a refreshing addition to our library).
It is birth-parent positive.
It mentions that the big problems that may have occurred are never the child’s fault.
I really think this is a must-have for any child who has had to change homes, regardless of who they end up with permanently. I would even recommend it for children who may have misconceptions about why a child has come or is coming into their family (i.e. a sibling or cousin who is a part of the adopters’ family).
I also really appreciate that the tone is somewhat neutral to positive but without disregarding any painful aspects a child might be feeling.
Cant say enough good about this book! If you have a child from foster care and your goal is to hold space for them to process their feelings about their past in a healthy way—get this book!
Must-have for children who have ever been in foster care
By Karis Mann on December 29, 2020
I should’ve gotten this book a long time ago! The subtitle made me think it was exclusively to help kids while the transition was happening but it’s great even if the transitions happened years ago to help them understand their story. My 6-year-old has been with us for 4 years now and it very much still applied. When hearing various lines of the book my son said, “Hey, that’s like me!” What a gift!By Karis Mann on December 29, 2020
