Join Roxie, a dachshund dog, as she makes the transition from her temporary Foster home to her new Forever home. Based on a real dog and her experiences, the book is designed to help children through the complicated process of adoption and other family transitions such as welcoming adopted children into their home, joining step-families and blended groupings, or moving between one separated parent and another.\u003cbr\u003e\nAdopted children can undergo a wide range of emotions when facing these transitions, joining a new family in a new home, with unknown surroundings and circumstances. Roxie s story shows children that it is perfectly normal to be afraid or anxious, and to ask questions, and most importantly that they are moving into a loving, caring family and everything will be all right.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book comes with a Parent and Therapist Guide for Adoptive Families written by a professional therapist to help adult caregivers and adoptive parents in guiding children through the transition process. The Parent Guide can help parents answer questions, craft talking-points and formulate discussions with the children about adoption. Parents thinking about adopting or having to explain adoption to their biological children will also find the guide useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Therapist Guide is written for clinicians to serve as an adjunct to therapy with children in transition (be it adoption, step or blended family or adding a new sibling). The guide can apply to children in any situation involving change, excitement, fear and anxiety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a photo-sectionin the book with information about the real Roxie, including her e-mail contact so that children can talk directly with Roxie and ask her questions about adoption and other challenges they may not want to ask their caregivers a safe, fun way for children to express their feelings without feeling threatened. Individual answers to the children s questions are crafted by Roxie s real adoptive mother, Jody A.

Miserably scrawled by Lemony Snicket and respectfully illustrated by Brett Helquist, never before has a series of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.\u003cbr\u003e\nViolet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn what is agreed upon by all to be a very bad beginning to the rest of their lives, these three youngsters not only learn that their parents have died and that they've become orphans overnight, but also that a one Count Olaf will be their caretaker. Repulsive, demanding, and downright sinister, Count Olaf proves to be as greedy as his eyes are beady (and, readers, they are beady).\u003cbr\u003e\nWith their family fortune on the line, the siblings must endure a few terrible things before—we can only hope—making it out alive: itchy clothing, boiled potatoes, shamefully incompetent adults, and a wedding that no one wants to attend, including the bride.\u003cbr\u003e\nRead now…or forever hold your peace., ISBN13: 9780064407663 ISBN10: 0064407667 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46126658584739,"sku":"AZ_H0000CTX","price":11.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/91Ff0Ll_sWL.jpg?v=1754897950"},{"product_id":"lemony-snicket-the-unauthorized-autobiography-a-series-of-unfortunate-events","title":"Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography (A Series of Unfortunate Events)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES\u003cbr\u003e\nA Warning from the Publisher:\u003cbr\u003e\nMany readers have questions about Lemony Snicket, author of the distressing serial concerning the trials of the charming but unlucky Baudelaire orphans, published under the collective title A Series of Unfortunate Events.
