Wally's Grab and Run
A foster love story
Wally, the foster dog, doesn't trust anyone. After living in multiple foster homes, he's convinced people will only let him down. But when his new foster family shows him patience and understanding after a series of grab-and-runs, Wally discovers he may have judged too quickly. Is it time for him to open his heart and start trusting again?
Through the lens of a foster dog, Wally's Grab and Run tells a relatable story for children facing the challenges and emotions of living in foster care. With themes of abandonment, food insecurity, and trust, the story calls out related emotions and physical reactions to help children identify how they relate. The book also includes a story-related activity to help children identify Wally's emotions to prompt meaningful dialogue between children in foster care and the adults who support them. The first in the Foster Love Series for kids ages 4 - 8.
Perfect for children in foster care, parents, counselors, therapists, teachers, and foster support agencies.
Can a foster dog learn to open his heart and start trusting in people again?
