Conversations with Little Dude: A Six-Year-Old's View on Foster Care, Adoption, and the Art of Wearing a Cape

LD: Spittage is gross. S-P-I-T. See, it has spit in the name!
Me: Actually, it's SPIN-ach. Not spit-age.
LD: Well, it ought to have spit in the name.
Me: Why?
LD: Because I would spit it out!

Welcome to the Dude's Eye View.

Little Dude arrived in his sixth (and final!) foster home at age 4.

He brought with him a wicked sense of humor and a take on the world his foster parents had never heard before.

From his unique perspective, you'll learn

• the logic of lint traps
• the necessity of bribing reindeer
• why Girl Scout cookies are suitable for breakfast, and most of all
• the importance of wearing a cape

Along the way, you'll see a lost little boy (and his mom!) navigate the emotional and complicated world of adoption from foster care.
