Descrição do livro
What happens inside the mind of a child when the world he knows disappears? The Boy in the Window takes readers into the childhood world of Johnny, a little blond-haired boy separated from his biological family and raised in foster care. From behind the large picture window of his foster home, Johnny watches the world outside while struggling to understand the one unfolding inside him. His behavior can be impulsive, rebellious, confusing, and sometimes destructive—but beneath it is a child searching for something every child needs: love, security, understanding, and a place to belong. Through childhood memories, foster care, school struggles, friendships, family conflict, moments of humor, painful experiences, and faith, The Boy in the Window asks readers to look beyond a child's behavior and consider what may be happening underneath it. This is more than one boy's story. It is a deeply personal look at childhood trauma, separation, foster care, identity, resilience, and the lasting importance of adults who are willing to see the child behind the behavior. Written with particular relevance for foster and adoptive families, caregivers, social workers, educators, child-development professionals, churches, advocates, and anyone who has ever wondered what a hurting child may be trying to say without having the words to say it. Sometimes the child everyone sees as a problem is simply a child waiting for someone to understand his story.
