​Nutmeg gets adopted.

​​​​

This is a beautiful story by which any adopted child will be able to relate to. I recommend using this with either Fostered or Adopted children, to help them understand

why they are with you and not their birth family. 

​

It is written by Judith Foxton 

Illustrated by Sarah Rawlings

​

A heartwarming story which I have used many times, with children of all ages, but particularly those of primary school age.

The Billy says series by Joanne Alper.

​

A set of 6 books which take a child through the journey from disruption at home, social workers, and right through to a new home and family. These are priceless! 

​

Exvcellent for a child at any stage of the process, especially primary school age, recommended for 3 - 8 year olds,

but I have used them with older children too!
