Calvin is in foster care, and he wants to trust someone, anyone, but is afraid to open his heart. He has lived in a lot of houses, but he still hasn' t found his home. When he moves in with Maggie, she shows him respect, offers him kindness, and makes him see things in himself that he' s never noticed before. Maybe this isn' t just another house, maybe this is a place Calvin can call home, for a while.
"Most books with this much purpose fall down on the lessons. This one transcends them, for a true story of how a home happens. "-- "School Library Journal, Starred Review" "Ultimately, the book is as much a model for foster parents as it is a story to provide validation of foster children' s experiences. . . Gentle and wise--especially as a read for foster parents. "-- "Kirkus Reviews"
