Kids deserve a safe place to live and grow and learn. For some kids, this means living with foster or adoptive parents. Speranza's Sweater chronicles one child's experience through the foster and adoptive system.

Produktbeschreibung
Kids deserve a safe place to live and grow and learn. For some kids, this means living with foster or adoptive parents. Speranza's Sweater chronicles one child's experience through the foster and adoptive system. Speranza wears her sweater everywhere, hanging onto the last memories of her birth home, until it's threadbare. Like her unraveled sweater, Speranza must weave together a new story, bringing threads from her past and strands from her present, into a future of love, family, and the true meaning of home. In this heart-warming and reassuring story, children are offered permission to feel and experience their own story authentically. It provides hope and support for the many mixed emotions a child will experience during their foster and adoption journey, through the unraveling and re-weaving of a favorite sweater. Speranza also introduces children to potential life experiences of foster and adopted classmates, friends, or family members. By reading Speranza's story with your child, and discussing the experience of a child in a similar situation, you can create a safe space to talk about feelings of grief, loss, excitement, confusion, anger, sadness, or any of the many other feelings accompanying removal, foster care, and adoption. Speranza's Sweater also includes a dictionary of words to empower children and their carers by understanding the language used around them.

Marcy is the mother of four humans and two pups, but she's also tossed pizzas for a pizzeria, acted and sang in a musical, advocated for families with special needs, made appearances in a few movies, and mimed with balloon animals at the Halifax Busker Festival. Marcy is also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Certified Trauma & Resilience Practitioner, international speaker, Story Coach, and the best-selling author of books for adults and for children. She does her best writing on retreats with a nearby hot tub, in any castle, and within view of the sea. Marcy loves the smiles and giggles of kids who see themselves in her pages and the tearful nods of adults who realize they're not alone by her words. You can watch and share her TEDx Talks: "How Story Empowers Kids to Shape our World" & "You Are More Than Your Traumatic Experiences."
