Sunday's Child

Sunday's Child tells the story of ten-year-old Jenny, who finds herself in a new foster home. Initially, Jenny harbors specific expectations about what her new life should be like, perhaps influenced by past experiences or media. Her new foster mother, however, offers a simpler, more grounded existence, which at first disappoints Jenny. As the story unfolds, Jenny gradually learns to look beyond superficial desires and appreciate the deeper, more meaningful aspects of family, kindness, and belonging. This chapter book gently explores themes of adjustment, empathy, and the true meaning of home, making it suitable for children navigating changes or learning about different family structures.

Ten-year-old Jenny's new foster mother doesn't live up to her expectations until Jenny discovers that there are more important things in life than lavish gifts and fancy homes.
