A gentle tale about finding the right foster home

Home For a While
Written by Lauren Kerstein
Illustrated by Natalia Moore
Calvin is in foster care, and he wants to
trust someone, anyone, but is afraid to
open his heart. He has lived in a lot of
houses, but he still hasn't found his home.
When he moves in with Maggie, she shows
him respect, offers him kindness, and
makes him see things in himself that he's
never noticed before. Maybe this isn't just
another house, maybe this is a place Calvin
can call home, for a while.

Selling Points
HELPS WITH BEING A FOSTER
CHILD: Inspire foster children to
remember their self-worth while
waiting for a stable and possibly
permanentĀ placement.
CAN BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF
SITUATIONS: Calvin's foster need isn't
explained, so this story appeals to
kids who are in temporary housing or
staying with a relative for any number
of reasons, such as a parent who is
absent due to incarceration, treatment
center, or hospitalization.
SETTLING DOWN AFTER BOUNCING
AROUND: Author aims to reduce
the stress and address emotions and
uncertainty that come with living in
multiple homes.
TACKLE FEELINGS OF NOT BEING
WANTED: This is a positive story of
Calvin learning to feel comfortable in
his newest home.
