     [Check/Credit Card Price...Less 21% = 7.86]

This art therapy book helps children cope with the emotional impact of adoption. Children can use this book's interactive exercises to realize that their birth parents were good people who loved them, but were unable to give them a good home. The drawing activities help the child understand that they were placed, rather than abandoned. The goal here is to have the child develop a strong sense of personal identity. The interactive drawing exercises help children explain in pictures what they are unable to say in words. Grades K-6. [8.5” x 11”...32 pages]
