    About this ebook

    LD: Spittage is gross. S-P-I-T. See, it has spit in the name!
    Me: Actually, it's SPIN-ach. Not spit-age.
    LD: Well, it ought to have spit in the name.
    Me: Why?
    LD: Because I would spit it out!

    Welcome to the Dude's Eye View.

    Little Dude arrived in his sixth (and final!) foster home at age 4.

    He brought with him a wicked sense of humor and a take on the world his foster parents had never heard before.

    From his unique perspective, you'll learn:

    - the logic of lint traps
    - the necessity of bribing reindeer
    - why Girl Scout cookies are suitable for breakfast, and most of all
    - the importance of wearing a cape

    Along the way, you'll see a lost little boy (and his mom!) navigate the emotional and complicated world of adoption from foster care.
