Danny and the Yellow House on Maple Street : A Story About Foster Care, Kindness and Finding Your Feet
Overview
Danny and the Yellow House on Maple Street
The Danny Series - Book One
When nine-year-old Danny is taken from everything he knows and placed with a foster family, nothing feels right. Not the house. Not the bed. Not the new school. And certainly not the silence where his little sister used to be.
But the Whitfields' yellow house holds more than Danny expected.
There are burnt eggs and laughter. A dog called Biscuit who sleeps outside his door. A wooden star with his name painted on it, made before they'd ever met him. And a woman who understands that missing someone and being okay are not opposites. That both things can be true at once.
Danny and the Yellow House on Maple Street is a quiet, honest story about loss, resilience, and the small unexpected moments that make a strange place feel like somewhere you might...just...belong.
