Casey is a very special young boy. He has bright, red hair. He is very giving and has a BIG heart. Casey is also adopted - which sometimes makes him feel a bit out of place with his family. They have goofy traditions (as most families do) that include sticking gift bows to their foreheads and arguing over which kind of Jello is best. My Cousin Casey and the Day He Lost His Way is a book about Casey's realization that his family loves him unconditionally and that running away is never an option.
