BLOOM
A little one going through big life changes needs a little help working through big emotions.
As “the new puppy on the block,” Hero feels nervous and shy. A special discovery in the garden — a beautiful flower — helps this pup find comfort and make friends. When the frost comes and the flower dies, Hero is heartbroken. But the puppy’s friends and family come to the rescue, and under their loving care, Hero blooms.
Written with help from mental health professionals, this book will resonate with kids entering foster care, starting at a new school, moving to a new neighborhood or experiencing grief. But all kids can benefit from its messages of empathy, patience and hope.
