Families Change: A Book for Children Experiencing Termination of Parental Rights (Kids Are Important), Paperback Book, By: Julie Nelson, Mary Gallaghe

All families change over time. Sometimes a baby is born, or a grown-up gets married. And sometimes a child gets a new foster parent or a new adopted mom or dad. Children need to know that when this happens, it’s not their fault. They need to understand that they can remember and value their birth family and love their new family, too. Straightforward words and full-colour illustrations offer hope and support for children facing or experiencing change. Includes resources and information for birth parents, foster parents, social workers, counsellors, and teachers. About the Author Mary Gallagher has degrees in studio arts and occupational therapy. In addition to illustrating books, she is a paediatric occupational therapist in St. Paul charter schools and the Families Together Preschool.
