Sinopsis

Kids deserve a safe place to live and grow and learn. For some kids, this means living with foster or adoptive parents. Speranza&rsquo,s Sweater chronicles one child&rsquo,s experience through the foster and adoptive system.áSperanza wears her sweater everywhere, hanging onto the last memories of her birth home, until it&rsquo,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.áSperanza also introduces children to potential life experiences of foster and adopted classmates, friends, or family members. By reading Speranza&rsquo,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&rsquo,s Sweater also includes a dictionary of words to empower children and their carers by understanding the language used around them.
