Critic Reviews

"Our family thought that Maybe Days did a great job describing the different professionals that are involved in the foster care process on a child's level. The book also does a pretty good job of describing the situation that a foster child is in - namely that it is not their fault and discussing the various situations they may find themselves."--Transfiguring Adoption

"The book validates different emotions and experiences....The book is good at simply explaining the different roles adults play."--Families.com
