How can Penny the Piano help foster children?

Suzanne’s children’s book Penny the Piano provides foster children, parents, and other service providers a childlike view of the life of a foster child. Penny is a rental piano that is moved from place to place and foster children can identify her life and character. Supplemental materials including the Foster Parent Activity Guide and Penny’s Heart and Soul are intended for parent and foster child bonding and provide a path for healing the wounds of abandonment by introducing the concept of the home within. Foster the Arts provides Penny the Piano books and supplemental materials to every foster child under 12. Through Foster the Arts, Penny the Piano is on a journey to become a national symbol for foster children so that these children have a character to connect to, which can help them feel cared for and supported.
