Frazzled after reading some angry posts on social media today. Sometimes it's just not worth getting into it, but it's hard. I am a recovering people-pleaser!
How brilliant is this tune though? Found it on Tiktok by the amazing @hicorook and I'm excited to see that it's going to be released tomorrow! 😍

I was on the Anna Jinja Show on KHOI radio yesterday, talking about my children's books to help children to understand foster care, kinship care and adoption! I find it absolutely wild that I can be on a radio show in Iowa, while at home in the UK! Go technology! Thanks for having me on the show, Anna!

It's #worldsocialworkday and I can't think of anything more appropriate I could be doing today! I'm off to the UK's biggest #socialwork convention to talk to #socialworkers about how to talk to children about #fostercare, #specialguardianship and #adoption! I'll be talking about how to go beyond the #lifestorybook when doing #lifestorywork and how to talk to other children in the #family and support network, about adoption, #fostering and #kinshipcare.

The Scottish Child Payment was increased in November last year, the eligibility criteria for Scottish Child Payment, Best Start Foods and Best Start Grant were widened to include kinship carers who had a pre-existing relationship with a child they care for, even if they are not related to the child. #kinshipcare

Zoe's World Book Day costume is... Herself, as featured in "Adopting a Little Brother or Sister" by... Us! 🤣
The big sister character in this story was strongly based on Zoe, and she illustrated the book, so it's very close to our hearts 🥰

Fab chat with some #kinshipcarers & #specialguardians with AdoptLondonWest today! I talked through how my #books can help normalise different #family structures & explain #adoption, #fostercare, #kinshipcare & the role of a judge in #childprotection.
If you're in #socialwork or part of a #supportgroup for #kinshipfamilies, adopters, or #fostercarers, I'd love to talk to your group! 😊

If you've got one of my books in your Amazon basket, now's the time to check out! The books are printed to order, to prevent waste, and the printers will be having a Christmas shutdown starting at the end of this week. They will print some spares to be shipped during the closure, but last year the demand exceeded orders and some people had to wait til January for their books.

Had a lovely morning talking about my #fostercare and #kinshipcare children's books with a group of #kinshipcarers, #specialguardians, #fostercarers and other awesome people at the #Family and Friends Carers #Kinship group in #MiltonKeynes.
If you are a #kinshipcarer within a reasonable distance of Milton Keynes, I really recommend looking up the group and joining a future session. They are such a warm, welcoming group of people, and they clearly give each other wonderful support. ❤️
