It's Okay to Wonder - The Joy of Avery Rhonda Wagner

"I'm excited to be a sister in our foster family,

but I'm worried about new rules.

I feel happy and sad at the same time.

What about when our help isn't needed anymore?"

While Mom and Dad attend another foster training class, Avery shares with her Nana and Pop about her mixed-up feelings.
