I Promise – Comprehensive Review

Transfiguring Adoption’s Overview:

This book has a target audience of children, especially those entering a new foster home. While others may benefit from a glimpse into what foster care is like, this book will be most beneficial to children undergoing the trauma of entering foster care and going to live with strangers. This is a short, rhyming book, which makes it a great bedtime story. It communicates to the child that the foster parents will be there to support, care for, cheer on, and love children in their home.

Our family was blown away by the illustrations drawn by Marissa Nelson, who is just nineteen and clearly has great artistic talent! In her note on the inside, back cover, she stated, “I believe art is a great way to express and convey emotions, and in turn help communication!” This is exactly what she did in illustrating I Promise. She took the sweet words of Emmalee’s poem and turned them into a beautiful picture of what happens when new foster children and foster parents come together in a home. I recommend this book to families who welcome new foster children into their homes. (Another plus to purchasing this book is that the proceeds are being donated to local foster care agencies.)
