This is a book for children who have experienced parental neglect and have been taking care of many things on their own.
Every kid needs a grown-up who takes care of them and is kind to them. When kids don amp rsquo t have the care, love, and attention that they need while growing up, they can feel lonely, sad, angry, or worried. Sometimes these feelings can cause problems with other behaviors, too.
Somebody Cares follows children who have experienced neglect and helps them understand their associated feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. It helps kids prepare for changes that occur as they and their families begin to receive help, whether they remain in their homes or transition to a kinship or foster family.
And, mostly, Somebody Cares teaches kids that they were not to blame for their experiences and that they were brave to do so much on their own. Includes a Note to Readers inside for children and an online Note to Parents and Caregivers for adults.
