Book excerpt: One day, Sullivan's entire world clouds over! He moves in with Grandma when his parents are unable to keep him safe. Sullivan's big worries about the future cause him deep heartache. He wonders why he can't live with his parents, and his emotions start to take over his body! Because he doesn't understand how to handle his uncomfortable feelings, he lashes out at Grandma. While Grandma gives him time to calm down, Sullivan meets a friend who understands what he is going through.Will Sullivan find the courage to shift his cloudy day to clear skies? Follow alongside Sullivan, his grandma, and a wise friend as they weather the storms of life in this hopeful story about kinship care, and becoming a grandfamily. Sullivan's story is a resource for families broken apart by mental health issues, incarceration, and the addiction epidemic. It is a tool for teachers, counselors, CASA volunteers, psychotherapists, social workers, and the caregivers of children in kinship care. Due to unfortunate societal factors, the number of grandfamilies is quickly increasing, and there are very few resources available to this community. Raising grandchildren and other relatives trigger challenging behaviors and emotions for the entire family. Sullivan's story can help make this heartbreaking time in a child's life a little less frightening by showing him/her that they are not alone. In the back of the book, there is a list of well-known people who have been raised by their grandparents/relatives, additional coping techniques, and guidance for the adults who are raising neglected and traumatized children. The goal of the book is to bring awareness to an often invisible community of families that are struggling with loss, separation, and trauma. If it helps one child fall asleep at night knowing he/she is not the only one going through hard times, this book will be a massive success, in my opinion. When raising a grandchild, you can quickly become overwhelmed with the responsibilities, behaviors, and unique needs of a child exposed to loss and trauma. A Grandfamily for Sullivan is a children's book, but it is also helpful for the caregiver experiencing anxiety about the changes in their life. Please spread the word about Sullivan to help children unable to live with their parents due to safety issues in their homes.
