The DP Kids
There are some children who are blessed with both parents at home and are taught how to love, pray, and to accept diverse cultures.
There are some children who have lost both parents from an illness or accident and have no other family to live with.
Unfortunately for those children, they are placed with a foster family and sometimes, they are blessed to be adopted by parents who accept them into their family as their own child.
The DP Kids are a posse who come from diverse cultures. They all come from different areas of life; foster care homes, adoption agencies, and in the same home with their biological parents and siblings.
They all live in the same neighborhood, go to the same school, and attend fellowship in the same church. Like all children, the DP Kids have their ups and downs, and also disagreements. But through it all, they have gained a special friendship.
The DP Kids gives children of all cultures the knowledge and understanding that if you are underprivileged, poor, or have disability challenges, in God's eyes, everyone is special, and it is important to love everyone just as God loves us.

I met the author in a restaurant and during a casual conversation, I learned that she had recently penned this book. After she told me what it was about, I knew that it would be a perfect read for my youngest grandchildren. When I got home, I promptly ordered three copies. Of course, when they arrived at my house, I had to read one of them first. To my delight, I found them to be beautifully written, with stunning visuals! Most importantly, the message of the story was wholesome, and informative. Well done, Mrs Daniels. My grandchildren (and I) look forward to your next piece of work!

This is a great and easy read for the kids. Excellent way to incorporate all the kids playing, living and growing up together. I will recommend this to family and friends.

Children live in a world today where differences are criticized and even attacked. This book, The DP Kids, celebrates and appreciates the myriad ways that humans are different by examining those differences through the eyes of a group of neighborhood children. In their school and play experiences the children in the book talk to each other about family situations like adoption and the death of a parent, as well as meeting and helping newcomers of varied backgrounds. The children also share that prayer and God's Word can help them understand the diverse people
that they encounter. Colorful illustrations accent the story. This book provides a way to begin discussion around complex ideas that our children are facing. I would use it with my Sunday School students, ages 8-10.
