Child Protection Services have been involved with Billy and his
mother for some time now. He has been happily settled in a kinship
placement with his grandmother and enjoys his pet cat, interacting
with neighbors and even taking piano lessons. As the story unfolds,
Billy's grandmother has unexpectedly passed away and so the story
of "Billy Had To Move" begins.
Unfortunately, Billy's mother cannot be located. Mr. Murphy,
Billy's social worker, places him in the foster home of Amy, Tim,
and their baby "Colly." Billy experiences great loss resulting not
only from his grandmother's death, but also the loss of the life he
knew. Billy's inner journey therefore has also begun and with the
help of Ms. Woods, a Play Therapist, there is hope.
Therapists' Acclaim for "Billy Had To Move"
"This gem of a book gently frames the stages of a child's natural
quest to make sense of his story. Fraser has created more than a
teaching story: she generously offers a sacred space that
compassionately holds and supports the multidimensional realities
of our foster children and their birth families, our social workers
and foster families, our teachers and child
psychotherapists."
--Gisela Schubach De Domenico, PhD, MFT, R-PTS
"Billy Had To Move is a profound story about the complex issues
children in foster care often face. Fraser provides important
lessons for caregivers. The book gracefully introduces the sandtray
and provides insight into how powerful the experience can be when
the child has an opportunity to explore their trauma in the
sandtray."
--Mark E. Hulbert, MA, LLP
"A wonderful addition to the bibliotherapy field. This is a
much-needed book for foster care children to help them in adjusting
to a new caregiver and placement. It offers a welcoming view of how
children's worries and losses can be understood by a caring Play
Therapist, in a warm and inviting setting."
--Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, RPT-S; Director of Clinical Training,
The Astor Home for Children, Poughkeepsie, NY
"In this engaging, warm-hearted story, Billy grieving the loss of
his grandmother, finds a way to heal by expressing his thoughts and
feelings in Play Therapy. Highly recommended "
--Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S Director Emeritus, The
Association for Play Therapy
