Annie’s Hope explores a story of a little girl who feels as though she doesn’t belong. She dreams of ‘the perfect family’ as she questions why she doesn’t have many friends and other children seem to have more than she does—even their dreams are bigger than hers. A story of inspiration and hope results when magically her grown-up reflection appears in the mirror and assures her things will get better—she’ll grow to understand how the challenges of life have made her into the incredible person she will become.

Written in rhyming verse, Annie’s Hope is perfect for children in foster care, in counseling, or struggling with difficult family dynamics. Additionally, it promotes social-emotional learning in recognizing the child’s own emotions and expressing empathy for others.

Annie’s Hope is available in both English and Spanish.
