Talking to foster/adoptive kids about their story















I've been wanting to make a book for each of the girls that tells the story of their history with age appropriate information. The perfectionist in me has procrastinated for months, I wanted to draw it in Corel, edit it in Photoshop and have it professionally bound. This week I just sat down and got it done. I used blank 4x6 index cards, Sharpie markers and a simple photo album. It doesn't have any words so the story can be told orally and changed as they understand more.

Jo loves her book and wants me to read it over and over again.

That looks great!

That's great! Obviously Jo doesn't need it to be bound and fancy. It's perfect just as it is.

This is amazing!

What a great idea to leave the words off and let the story evolved. I am totally going to steal this with my next placement :-)
