The Big Nate book series for Cooper to find an escape from the residential facility

Posted Sep 23, 2024
Reading has become a valuable coping mechanism for Cooper during his stay at the residential facility. Books have provided him with a much-needed escape, and he has developed a newfound passion for the 'Big Nate' series. Acquiring the complete Big Nate series would undoubtedly bring him immense joy and support him during our quest to find his permanent home.

Cooper is 16 years old and lives in ME

Cooper recently moved into a residential foster care placement. He loves music, specifically from the 1980s. Cooper enjoys exploring nature, playing cards, and being around others. Living in foster care has been tough for Cooper, and he has been in and out of crisis several times, but he continues to maintain a positive attitude. He aspires to be a heart surgeon someday. Cooper likes to share his humor with the world through his silly jokes. He is a kind-hearted and thoughtful child!

Christina grants the wish for Cooper! Thanks Christina.

"Hi, Cooper! The Big Nate in real life that I love has probably been in every one of these scenarios and through tough times as he was learning how to be a strong and compassionate man. When he was challenged, he had characters in his favorite books who empowered him and kept him on a path he chose instead of another road built by others. It sounds like you care a lot about people- I hope your Big Nate inspires you like mine does for me! "
