Book Description
Many people say being a parent is the toughest job there is. John DeGarmo, foster and adoptive parent, tells us just how tough it can be, having parented over 40 children. At times he and his wife, Kelly, have cared for up to nine children at a time, many with severe trauma and learning difficulties. Love and Mayhem is an honest and open account of the struggles, sadness and joy that comes with the job of being a parent to a traumatised child. From the sleepless nights with babies withdrawing from drug-addiction, to the heartbreak when a child moves on to another home, and the loving chaos that comes with a large and blended family, John DeGarmo fights for the many children who have come through his home. Ideal for foster families, general readers, fostering agencies and social workers who are looking for a true to life memoir of what it really is to be a foster parent.

Book Description
Families come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. We have mixed families, single-parent families, families with unmarried partners, same-sex parents, adoptive families, foster families, and families where children are raised by their grandparents or other relatives. Even though these different family types have become quite common, it's important to realize that children aren't automatically comfortable with their unique family situations. They will compare their family with others and may express concerns about being different. Foster and adoptive parents and everyone in this realm will love this book because it has especially been written with the purpose of helping you teach your child to accept and appreciate those differences rather than fear them. Children need to be reassured that differences are good and that each family is unique and special in its own way and this book fulfills that purpose in a beautifully creative way. The little story is written in poem form, making it fun and easy for everyone to read. The simplicity of verse and comfortable rhythm of the prose makes children want to hear it over and over and your child will most likely soon be able to recite the parts of it that speak to their heart.

Jean Cook, M ED., LPCC .I found it delightful in every aspect. As a school psychologist, I was concerned that our best knowledge about the process of foster parenting be presented in an understandable, yetengaging manner. I was quickly reassured for I found that Mrs. Ulch was able to present mature and complex ideas in a manner easily grasped by the younger reader. Douglas Felt, M.A., Licensed School Psychologist It has been my pleasure to review Love, Bandit by Virginia Ulch. I was very impressed with this literary piece for children.

She has done so with a delightful story that will undoubtedly appeal to her intended audience.Bandit becomes nearly human because of the unique poses and expressive pictures.
