One Day at a Time: A Story About Big Feelings, Foster Care, and Finding Hope

By Maria Roy

Big feelings can be overwhelming for anyone, especially children facing uncertainty and change. One Day at a Time is a heartfelt story about Lily, a young girl navigating the changing seasons and a swirl of emotions while in foster care. With her loyal friend by her side, a yellow bird named Sparrow, she finds comfort, courage, and hope for each day.

Through whimsical illustrations and charming rhymes, children will feel seen in their own stories while also raising awareness of foster care for all readers. Peaceful coping strategies are woven through each emotion, teaching children that they are capable of both feeling and healing. Inspired by Matthew 6:25-34, One Day at a Time shows that just as God cares for the sparrows in the sky and the lillies in the field, He cares for and deeply loves every child.
