Sharing My Family / Compartiendo Mi Familia

In Sharing My Family, becoming a foster family turns a contented 8-year-old kid's life upside down. Readers follow along as Zee learns to use imagination and empathy to adjust to fostering. Sharing My Family is a picture book aimed at children ages 4-10, especially those whose families are fostering or whose parents are considering foster care. It is a valuable resource for parents, psychologists, social workers, teachers, and child care providers who care for children touched by the foster care system.
This is a bilingual picture book, written in English and Spanish from the perspective of a child already in a family when that family makes the decision to be a foster family. It is the debut children's book of author/illustrator Jessica Pleuss, and first in the Family For Now: Books About Foster Care series.
