In this heartfelt story from the bestselling author of My Mouth is a Volcano!, Foster meets new friends and a kind foster mom who help him navigate the fears and feelings associated with going into foster care.
Foster has lived with his mom and "sometimes dad" all of his life...until now. And like so many others entering foster care, he has more questions than answers and so many new feelings to deal with.
"I don't know what's going to happen to me.
Will I end up being like Zeke?
Will I have a new forever mom?
Can I visit my mom once a week?"
"I have so much going on inside me right now.
I feel angry, guilty, scared, hurt, and sad.
But maybe the others are right.
Maybe being here isn't so bad."
Written in an honest, approachable way, Foster Care will encourage children entering or already in foster care and help them understand they are not alone. Foster, Daisy, Zeke, Simpson, and Rex all have different circumstances which brought them to foster care. Together they talk through their stories and realize this is right where they need to be for now; under the caring watch of foster mom, Miss Beulah.

I wish I would have had this book when I was a foster/adoptive mom. It shared the journey, which is different for every kid, case and family. I hope foster parents pay attention to the page sharing about how the foster mom supports the foster child's mom. I love the page about building trust-school issues stay at school. How many times as a foster mom, do you have to put out many fires and in order to build trust, you have to let the issue lie at the right place to build a relationship and make a teaching moment out of the situation. I love the end, when the purple giraffe shows up! Read...enjoy... and share. I hope case workers find a way to give the book to kids. Could you imagine the journey...Abuse or neglect....removal....fear...sad....confused....new people and all the different emotions. Wow this book did a great job at expressing, teaching the appropriate feelings attached to the situation. Love it...another hit and another job well done!
