Kids Need to Be Safe: A Book for Children in Foster Care

Kid-all kids-need safe places to live, and safe places to play. For some kids, this means living with foster parents. Written especially for kids, this book can help children prepare for, understand, and accept foster care. Simple words and realistic color illustrations tell and show why some kids move to foster homes, what foster parents do, and how kids might feel during foster care.
This book offers hope and support for kids and adults. The first part is meant to be read and shared with children. The second part includes information and resources for adults who work to keep kids safe: parents, foster parents, social workers, teachers and caregivers.
