Had a lovely chat with Sarah Geogh this morning! We've been trying to arrange it for a while, but it's tricky for two adoptive Mums to find time between parenting, writing books and all the other chaotic things we have going on! Like me, Sarah has written children's books about adoption, so we had a lot to talk about!

#Repost @adoption.books · · · · I believe it is just as important for our transracially adopted kiddos to have experiences and resources that explicitly discuss adoption and transracial families, as it is to have experiences that implicitly ormalize" adoption (because although it's not normal and ideal, our kids need their reality validated). This could include books, movies, art, everyday conversation, therapy, interactions with other adopted and fostered children. it's important that they see and hear a wide variety of examples, instead of understanding adoption from just one narrative. We all need to know we are not alone! We should be intentional about the messages our kids hear (or maybe don't hear) about adoption. These four books written by Robert Munsch, all feature transracial families. The parents in each book are white and either have a child of colour, or children of various races. None of them address adoption at all. So they are great examples simply awesome picture books that broaden the world's definition of "family". Descriptions of each book in the comments. ***Disclaimer 2 of these books should be carefully evaluated before reading. This evaluation must include hearing a variety of adult adoptees share how they feel about being refered to as "gifts" or adoption related fees. In one, the children wrap themselves up as gifts on Chirstmas morning, and in another a daughter is mistaken for a doll, given a pricetag and dad can't leave the store until he pays. These are triggers for MANY adoptees. I do not take these references lightly.*** #robertmunsch #bookreviews #adoptionbooks #fostercarebooks #diversebooks #blackgirlmagic #adoption #fostercare #transracialadoption #transracialadoptee #adoptee #adultadoptee #adoptioniscomplicated #adoptionislove #adoptionishard #adoptionislove https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTNmf_BmBM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lytc7x7spp5q

Loving life at Aylesbury library, signing books after our book reading today. Lots of people wanted to talk to Zoe or ask her to sign books today, so that was lovely. I love that I get to share these fun events with my amazing daughter. ❤️ . #booksbooksbooks #books #library #libraries #read #readbooks #readmorebooks #reading #adoptionbooks #aylesbury #aylesburyparents #goals #careerchange #livingourbestlives #livingmybestlife #livingthedream #nationalstorytellingweek #familyliteracyweek https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-K4rhs0NL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We were quite excited to see this outside Aylesbury library when we got there for our book reading and signing event today! 😂📚 It is the crossover day between Family Literacy Week and National Storytelling Week (which is actually 9 days as a sort of nod to bookends - who knew authors were so hilarious? 😂), so this was a very appropriate day for a book reading event! Turnout was brilliant (you'll have to trust me on that as I didn't want to share photos with children's faces in who aren't my child, so the photos I share will be zoomed in and cropped!) and lots of lovely people came over to chat with us or buy books and have them signed. We had so much fun! ❤️ Thank you to Aylesbury Library for hosting us in your lovely library! . #booksbooksbooks #books #library #libraries #read #readbooks #readmorebooks #reading #adoptionbooks #aylesbury #aylesburyparents #goals #careerchange #livingourbestlives #livingthedream #nationalstorytellingweek #familyliteracyweek https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-JhVTsL3B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honoured that Delly Duck has received such kind words from the amazing @annaandersonbooks in her recent article for Shepherd.com! I am a huge fan of her autobiographical book about her adoption, "Survival Without Roots," so am thrilled that she thinks Delly Duck is a valuable resource for adoptees growing up! ❤️ You can read the full article at https://shepherd.com/best-books/growing-up-adopted . #adoption #adoptionuk #adoptioncommunity #adoptioncommunityuk #ukadoptioncommunity #ukadoption #adoptionbooks #adoptionresources #adoptionstory #adoptionstories #survivalwithoutroots #socialwork #socialworkresources #socialworkreads #socialworktoolkit #socialworkreadinglist #adoptionreadinglist #adoptionprep https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPSBV3sC-b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So touched that Julia leapt straight onto Amazon in response to my post yesterday, and shared her reviews of several of my books! 🥰 If you missed it, I talked about how fewer than 1% of people leave a review, which I understand, because I never really appreciated how much reviews mean to authors until I became one! Each review makes a big difference to the visibility of my books on Amazon. It also really means a lot to me to see that one of my books has been helpful or someone enjoyed it. Thank you so much to those of you who have left reviews already. If you haven't, please consider it when you have a few free minutes. I really appreciate it! ❤️ . #gratitude #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusiness #independentauthor #indieauthor #appreciation #bookrecommendations #adoption #adoptionbook #adoptionstory #storytelling #storytellingweek #nationalstorytellingweek #stories #books #adoptivefamily #fosterfamily #socialwork #socialworktoolkit #socialworker #fostercare #fostercareresources #kinshipcare #kinshipcareresources #specialguardian #specialguardianship https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH1SwIs8tg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was asked to write an article for Shepherd.com a few weeks ago about my top 5 book recommendations for adoptive parents, and it was published today! These autobiographies by adoptees and birth parents were a tough, emotional read at times, but they all changed me for the better, and I highly recommend these books to any adoptive parents. You can read the article to see why I recommend these books at https://shepherd.com/best-books/helping-adoptive-parents-be-better-parents . #bookreview #bookrecommendations #autobiography #memoir #adoptionbooks #adoptionreadinglist #adoptionresources #adoptionrealities #selfimprovement https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFI17OsJC8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
