THE WHOLE ME is a sensitive and empowering portrayal of a foster child's journey through adoption. It is an excellent tool for children, foster and adoptive parents, social workers and therapists to help children understand their past in order to enable them to integrate this information into their present self. This beautifully illustrated book is a non-threatening vehicle to assist a child in pulling together the pieces of who they are. It is a good starting point for open discussions and can be used as an aide or substitute for a life book. THE WHOLE ME has been applauded by the professional adoption community. Also recommended by educators for general elementary school reading.
