About this title

Synopsis

"A Beautiful Message of Hope for Adopted and Foster Children."
Is there an Adopted or Foster child in your life? Do they ever feel like they don't quite belong? Are they worried you might give up on them?
Introducing a hilarious, relatable, and heartwarming story for adopted and foster children about unconditional love.
According to child welfare studies, up to 70% of foster and adoptive children struggle with feelings of belonging and instability.
In No Matter What, former foster kid and best-selling author Josh Shipp shares a mostly autobiographical tale about finding a forever home.
Josh was a squirrel without a squirrel family. Between the pelicans, the leopards, the otters, and the snakes, no one seemed to want a squirrel like him.
He did everything he could to scare those families away first, but the elephants weren't like other families. The elephants were very large and very patient, and they wanted Josh to be part of their family today, tomorrow, and forever.
Adopted or Foster children will:

• Recognize their own feelings of belonging and insecurity, knowing they're not alone in their emotions.
• Connect with the relatable character, Josh, and empathize with his journey as they see their own experiences reflected.
• Understand the concept of unconditional love through the story, appreciating its significance in their own lives.
• Be inspired by Josh's resilience and perseverance, learning to face challenges with determination and optimism.
• Empower themselves with a positive self-identity, recognizing their uniqueness and worth.

With hilarious illustrations and a heartwarming message, No Matter What: A Foster Care Tale, is certain to cultivate empathy, inspire resilience, and encourage heartfelt conversations.
