Читать книгу A Place in My Heart - Mary Grossnickle - Страница 3

“This charming and realistic book helps children learn to talk about their feelings rather than act out. Charlie has big feelings about adoption, identity and birth parents and acts out his feelings. He is helped by his adopted mother to express his feelings in a positive way including an art project. The children I have used this book with love him and love doing the project.”

Michael’s Journey and The Case of the Multiple Mothers

“I consider A Place in My Heart one of the very best books for young adopted children (and their parents) because it demonstrates how to make it ‘OK’ for children to hold their feelings and connections for both of their ‘real’ families: their birth parents and their adoptive parents. No surprise the book was written by an adult adoptee—she really ‘gets it’!”
