Orphans & Foster Homes, Abuse, Dysfunctional Relationships, Emotions & Feelings 

Designed for children in foster care (ages 5-10), "Wanting to Belong" is part of an educational, dialogue-opening series for kids in out-of-home care. In this full-color 16-page book, Robbie Rabbit feels a bit left out while at his foster home. Feeling like he doesn't belong, he breaks something and attracts the immediate attention of his foster parents. His smart foster parents realize that Robbie is seeking attention, consider why that might be, and then take steps to help him feel more included. *** The story and activities were created by Adam Robe, MSW, a former foster child who was adopted at age nine and is now a child welfare professional. *** The Robbie RabbitTM series is designed specifically for child welfare professionals and foster/adoptive parents who want to: (1) Help a foster child and/or an adoption-eligible child adjust better to tough changes in life; (2) Promote communication between the child and the important people in his life; and (3) Gain insight into a child's feelings and interpretation of the world around him. - from Amzon
