Home for A While — Lauren Kerstein

Ultimately, the book is as much a model for foster parents as it is a story to provide validation of foster children’s experiences… Gentle and wise—especially as a read for foster parents. —Kirkus Reviews Calvin is in foster care, and he wants to trust someone, anyone, but is afraid to open his heart. He has lived in a lot of houses, but he still hasn’t found his home. When he moves in with Maggie, she shows him respect, offers him kindness, and makes him see things in himself that he’s never noticed before. Maybe this isn’t just another house, maybe this is a place Calvin can call home, for a while.
