Reach for this book if your child is grappling with the heavy weight of family separation, the foster care system, or the painful longing for a parent who is unable to care for them. It serves as a compassionate bridge for children who feel they must suppress their anger or hide their 'true selves' just to fit into a new environment. Tia's journey explores the difficult transition from holding onto a false hope of rescue to finding genuine belonging in an unexpected place. Appropriate for ages 9 to 12, this story validates the complex emotions of abandonment and the fear of betrayal that comes with forming new bonds. While the themes are deep, the introduction of the Ice Pony Ranch provides a comforting, therapeutic outlet for both the characters and the reader. It is a powerful tool for parents and caregivers to show children that they are allowed to be angry, but they are also allowed to be happy in their new reality.
