“My Awesome Life” is a lifebook published by Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI). Lifebooks help foster children form a sense of identity. Since foster children move frequently, they forget their past. Lifebooks offer pages to record past milestones, important friendships, etc. Additionally, lifebooks ask questions that allow children to express their thoughts and feelings.
