Synopsis1st place, Picture Books ages 6 & older, 2016 Purple Dragonfly Award This is a book for kids like you who have been taking care of so many things on your own. You may not realize it, but you were brave, strong, and clever to look out for yourself, and maybe even for others in your family. You can feel good about yourself for many reasons.

It helps kids prepare for changes that occur as they and their families begin to receive help, whether they remain in their homes or transition to a kinship or foster family. And, mostly, Somebody Cares teaches kids that they were not to blame for their experiences and that they were brave to do so much on their own.
