More DescriptionA Family for Lenny is a children's book written for kids growing up without one or both of their birth parents. Lenny is a Bigfoot growing up in a redwood forest. He is surrounded by loving creatures who are metaphors for the people that many children have in their own lives. The wise owls are teachers. The peaceful loon is a psychologist/social worker. The turtles are caretakers, and the list goes on!This book is unique in that it doesn't have the typical happy ending. Lenny struggles with the absence of his parents and asks himself the same complicated questions that many children struggle with. Lenny never learns exactly where his parents went or why they left, but he does realize that he is surrounded with people who love him and are there for him. He discovers that they are his family. This book is a must-have for anyone who works with children; teachers, Big Brothers/Sisters, social workers, psychologists, nurses, principals, and more.If you would like more information, please visit our website at www.lennyslifelessons.com
