Question for foster children or parents?

What are some must reads specifically for foster kids and foster parents?
Additional Details
I've read Dave Pelzer AND Richard Pelzer's books


    




Looney Tunes
Nothing.

It's all drama written with alterior motives behind it...to sell copies.

Read Dave Peltzer...that's all you need...he speaks the truth, because he lived it and now tries to change it.

Or read the information gathered by The Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care or the Casey Foundation, whose soul mission is to rid the need for foster care.
