An accessible, warm-hearted story, written by an adoptive parent,
centred around two young bears who find themselves out in the cold,
alone, and begin their journey to being adopted into a forever
family. The story acknowledges the mix of emotions children being
adopted can feel - the fear and worry, as well as the joy of
experiencing love and kindness from their new carers. With
appealing animal characters and beautiful illustrations, The
Blanket Bears offers an honest yet gentle account of the complete
adoption journey for children starting or trying to understand the
process. It's also a great introduction to young children more
widely about how the process of adoption works and how some
families come to be together. In order the strike the right balance
of accuracy and sensitivity for young readers, the author consulted
and collaborated with professionals and psycholigists as well as
drawing on the lived experiences of his children. Many children's
books about adoption focus purely on adapting into the new family
but this has a more holistic and realistic focus, all from a
child's perspective. This book is perfect for primary schools in
early years and key stage 1 to help children empathise with their
adopted peers. Social workers, foster carers and adoptive families
with younger children often use The Blanket Bears as a soft and
sensitive warm up to life story work as it helps adopted children
feel less aloneand process their own adoption story through their
shared experiences with the bears in the story.

A heart-warming rhyming story about the realities behind a typical
family Christmas; reminding us how easy it is to get caught up in
material things, through the true to life and tear-inducing
experiences of 'the family next door'. Grandad helps his family get
through their challenges in the run up to the big day, from Lily's
meltdown in her school nativity, to cremated turkey on Christmas
morning! His special gift (a message from Grandma) helps the family
remember her and reminds them that Christmas should be about
togetherness.
Christmas is the perfect time to really inject a little magic and
optimism in to the world. Santa's Wish follows a structure of 14
rhyming couplet verses similar to that of the traditional Christmas
Eve story - 'Twas the night before Christmas. It has a very
heart-warming and special Christmas message of kindness and
thoughtfulness to share with young readers. The story aims to
encourage children their and families to think beyond what they
'want' for Christmas and to think more about what they can 'do' for
Christmas, to share with others in the spirit of 'Santa's wish'.
