Families Come in Different Colors, Shapes and Sizes: Fostering Love: Foster and Adoptive Care Series - Paperback

Families come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. We have mixed families, single-parent families, families with unmarried partners, same-sex parents, adoptive families, foster families, and families where children are raised by their grandparents or other relatives.
Even though these different family types have become quite common, it's important to realize that children aren't automatically comfortable with their unique family situations. They will compare their family with others and may express concerns about being different.
Foster and adoptive parents and everyone in this realm will love this book because it has especially been written with the purpose of helping you teach your child to accept and appreciate those differences rather than fear them. Children need to be reassured that differences are good and that each family is unique and special in its own way and this book fulfills that purpose in a beautifully creative way.
The little story is written in poem form, making it fun and easy for everyone to read. The simplicity of verse and comfortable rhythm of the prose makes children want to hear it over and over and your child will most likely soon be able to recite the parts of it that speak to their heart.
