Books About Getting a Foster Sibling

[Carolyn]

Hi there,
We are the parents of two children, ages six (boy) and four (girl). We are about to welcome a 4 year-old foster child (girl) and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good children's book to help them understand.

bump - great idea
I can't think of any, unfortunately.
Have you tried your real-life children's librarian?
Does the agency have any pamphlet or such?

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I will look in to these options.

This is a book about adopting a special needs (developmentally delayed) child: Don't Call Me Marda but if the kids are ambivalent it might be a good choice.

Another adoption book I like is How It Feels to Be Adopted, as told from the adoptees povs.

Neither are foster kids and both books might be slightly to advanced for your kids, but I thought I'd mention them. Best of luck!
