"The Star: A story to help young children understand foster care" is an easy-to-read, short story with beautiful, watercolor illustrations. The book follows a fictional young girl, Kit, who is taken from her mother to the safety, and different world, of a foster home. On Kit's first night in foster care, she becomes friends with a star outside her bedroom window. The star tells Kit about other foster children it has seen. Throughout the story, the star is a source of comfort for Kit as she experiences many emotions and adjusts to all the new things in her foster home.
