The critically acclaimed story of one child's experience of foster
care and his journey to a forever, forever home Elliot's parents
love him very much, but they don't have all the skills they need to
take care of a child. When he cries, they do not understand why.
When he yells, they do not know what to do. When he misbehaves,
they do not know how to react. One day a social worker named Thomas
comes to visit, and Elliot's world turns upside-down. Manon
Gauthier's soft collage illustrations feature approachable rabbit
characters, while Julie Pearson's soothing, repetitive text guides
Elliot gently through the foster child system. The new families
that care for the little boy are kind, but everything is strange
and new, and the sudden changes make him want to cry and yell and
misbehave. Then, when it becomes clear that Elliot's parents will
never be able to raise him, Thomas sets out to find Elliot one last
home-a forever, forever home with a family that will love and care
for him no matter what.
