May Is National Foster Care Month
More than half a million American children live in foster care today. They all deserve safe, happy and healthy homes. Practical Tools for Foster Parents offers useful information, effective techniques, and hope to new or experienced foster parents as well as grandparents and other relatives caring for a child forced from home by a crisis. Kids Need to Be Safe is a picture book that explains why some kids move to foster homes, how they might feel, and why it's not their fault. Families Change helps children in foster care remember and value their birth family while loving their new family, too.
BoysTown Press is offering Practical Tools for 30% off and the two children's books for 15% off during National Foster Care Month. Sale prices are good through May 31, 2008.
