Summary:
A Cute Children’s Book to help Kids understand Foster Care and Adoption.
Join Drew and his dragon Diggory Doo on this uplifting story to understand what it means to be a foster child and the many issues, questions, and feelings they have that are directly or indirectly affected by Foster Care.
With the cute and relatable Dragon Diggory Doo going through the same issues children have, this is an essential book to help children cope with difficult challenges such as changing families, being removed from a home, or how scary things can be, and how to navigate the fears and feelings going into Foster Care.
Educators and parents will find this book a great tool to help kids open up to discuss negative behaviors, as well as understanding and gaining trust for adults involved such as social workers, parents, lawyers, parents, therapists, and more…
Read this book to children to give them the empowering affirmation that no matter how hard and uncertain things can be, they’re loved and the adults involved are lending the helping hands, and what they can do to adjust to the new living associated with Foster Care.
(NOTE: This book is part of the My Dragon Book series that teaches readers Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills via its protagonists, a dragon called Diggory-Doo and his best friend, Drew).
