""A message worth teaching: This story beautifully teaches children the importance of caring for others."" - Kent McCuddin, Co-author, Illustrator of Tommy's Party ""[This book will] allow foster families the opportunity to open a dialog that includes children already in the home."" - Rebekah Elder, adoptive parent ""Portrays realistically that it can be frustrating and confusing to understand a foster child's different behavior, but there are ways to understand it and to cope with it."" - Phyllis Pleuss, LCSW ""Simple, easy to read, and relatable for children whose families are going to be foster families. So many good things are talked about in a way that children can understand."" - Christina Spicer, LISW, RPT ""...a very good way to help children understand what it means when a foster kid comes into the home and how things can change and why."" - Courtney Holland, foster family support worker ""Portrays realistically that it can be frustrating and confusing to understand a foster child's different behavior, but there are ways to understand it and to cope with it."" - Phyllis Pleuss, LCSW ""I also liked that it encourages empathy for the foster siblings without demonizing their bio parents. I appreciate that the focus remains squarely from the perspective of children."" - CASA worker ""While the subject of the book is obviously important, I also really like how the book is inclusive in other ways as well, such as the names of the kids, the skin color of the people, and the Spanish translation."" - Dr. Jennifer Miller, English professor and parent
