A visit to a shelter can be frightening. This book, inspired by someone who has worked in a shelter for battered and abused people for many years, is designed to help calm children as they transition from a potentially violent situation to a safer and calmer place. It essentially offers a tour of a shelter and provides each child a clearer understanding of their new temporary environment. It is joyfully illustrated and plainly tackles the most commonly asked questions the author has been asked by the children. Things such as: clothing, the laundry room, the kitchen, food, the playroom, school, bedroom, toy room and new friends. A timely book at a time of transition.
