FAQs

Q: What types of adoption is covered in this book?
A: Chance is adopted from a group home, but the story of The Polaris-Away is intentionally fanciful so that it serves as a metaphor for families of ALL types: infant, foster to adopt, international adoption, foster care, etc.

Q: What age is this intended for?
A: The book's language is purposefully geared towards older elementary ages, but has been read and tested with preschool and up and they LOVED it! The more advanced language means that this book can be enjoyed for years and years, and will still be helpful when a child is developmentally able to understand identity and adoption.

Q: Does this book address transracial adoption?
A: Yes! The crew and family aboard The Polaris-Away were intentionally illustrated with racial diversity in mind. Family doesn't have to look the same to be family!

Q: Does this book describe how adoption works?
A: The Polaris-Away is a fanciful book about the wonder of adoption. It's story allows you to draw metaphors to apply to your child's story. Adoption comes in MANY forms, so this allows it to apply to all types.

Q: Is the book helpful for non-adopted children?
A: Absolutely! The Howards wrote The Polaris-Away with their own nieces and nephews in mind as they were going through the adoption process. In these cases, it serves as a guide for explaining why their new cousins came to live with a "new mommy and daddy".
