Three books by Casey Watson for Kaliyah who finds strength in her writing

Posted Feb 27, 2017
Kaliyah has been in foster care for some time and has moved to many placements. She loves to read and Casey Watson is one of her favorites. She really wants to read 3 of her books: Crying for Help, The Girl Without a Voice and A Stolen Childhood .

Kaliyah is 23 years old and lives in MN

Kaliyah enjoys playing all types of sports especially basketball, football and track and field. When she's not playing sports, she enjoys making arts and crafts and giving advice to her friends and others. When she grows up, she wants to be a Children's Adolescent Mental Health Therapist because she loves helping people, especially younger kids. Helping people always makes her feel good about herself too. Kaliyah says, "You can always be someone's sunshine when their skies are grey. "
