I've had a lovely morning talking about my foster care and kinship care children's books with a group of kinship carers, special guardians, foster carers and other awesome people at the Family and Friends Carers Kinship group in Milton Keynes. If you are a kinship carer 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. ❤️ #kinshipcare #kinshipcommunity #kinshipcarers #specialguardian #specialguardianship #specialguardians #kinshipfamily #kinfamily #grandfamily #grandparentcaregivers #grandparenting #parentinggrandparent #fosterfamily #fostercare #fostering #support #supportgroup #ittakesavillage #bethevillage #miltonkeynes #bucks #buckinghamshire #bedfordshire https://www.instagram.com/p/CloNOMeNI8S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A 6 year old stood up and asked me this when I was giving a talk to her class about different kinds of family. Unsurprisingly, I didn't know who she was, but I love that she thought I should. Her friend hissed "Georgie, of course she doesn't know who you are! You're not famous!" so I said "yes, you're Georgie." Then the whole class was silent for a moment, until Georgie nodded and said "that's right" and sat back down, and I carried on answering questions that were *mostly* about adoption, foster care or writing books. 🤣 .

The therapeutic library in the waiting room of Equipt Family Services (@EquiptTherapy on Facebook) includes all my books. I saw this photo almost 2 weeks ago and keep thinking about it. Sandra at Equipt let me know that they are placed low down enough that children can easily reach them, and they have been doing so. ❤️ Equipt Family Services has been such wonderful champions of my books and even recommends them on their website at https://www.equipttherapy.com/adoption-resources It's magic to know that my books are helping children. ❤️ . #playtherapy #playtherapist #fostering #fostercare #kinshipcare #adoption #adoptionawarenessmonth #socialworkers #socialworker #socialworklife #socialworkersrock #socialworkreadinglist #socialworkreads #kinshipcareawareness #specialguardianship #kinshipfamily #grandfamily #adoptionuk #adoptioncommunity #specialguardianship #grandparentcaregivers #fosterfamily #fostercarereadinglist #fostercarer #fostermama #fosterparent #LGBTParenting #lgbtqparents #socialworktoolkit #playtherapyresources https://www.instagram.com/p/CkzIBiZoDI_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally someone has written a review of my book on Amazon.ca! ❤️ Sales have shot up in #Canada lately, so I assume someone is talking about Delly Duck on social media! Isn't it weird that I have sold books in countries I've never even been to?! This modern world is amazing. I do hope to go to Canada one day. #canadian #fostercareincanada #adoptionincanada #canadianadoption #canadianfosterparents #ohcanada #adoptiveparent #adopting #adoptivemom #adoptivefamily #fostering #fosterfamily #socialwork #socialworkmatters #kinshipcare #specialguardianship #grandparentcaregivers #famille #familledacceuil #fostermama #pflegefamilie #pflegemama #pflegemami #adopcion #adoptionstory #storiesthatmatter #canadianparents #canadianmom #canadianfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CghRx1bsYhc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thrilled with this article about my #fostercare and #adoption books in the MK Citizen newspaper! Love this photo of me with my sister, Suzy and my daughter, Zoe, who have illustrated the books I've published so far.

I had so much fun with my little illustrator at my book reading and signing at Towcester library this morning! I read my new book about foster care, kinship care and adoption, then had some lovely chats with some adoptive families, foster carers and a social worker while signing books. Zoe also signed the books that she illustrated, which she loved doing! ❤️ #library #booksigning #adoption #fostercare #fostering #kinshipcare #specialguardianship #family #reading #northants #adoptionmonth #adoptiveparent #adoptivefamily #adoptionuk #kinshipfamily #kinshipcarer #fostercarer #fosterthefamily #AdoptionAwarenessMonth #adoptionbuiltus #sgo #grandparenting #grandparentcaregivers #grandfamily #blendedfamily #socialwork #socialworkers #socialworker #socialworkreadinglist #childprotection https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLpbW3MNMd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Introducing another character for "Room in the Nest" my next children's story, about foster care. This is a grandmother magpie, who will be raising her grandchildren as a kinship carer, after their brief stint in foster care. "Room in the Nest" will be published in September. It is based in the world of Delly Duck (from my first book, "Delly Duck: Why a Little Chick Couldn't Stay With His Birth Mother," available from @shrimpanddoodle (signed copies!), @Amazon, @whsmithofficial and @waterstones) and features some familiar characters, as well as new ones. 🐤🦆🐦🦉🐧🦅🦃 #kinshipcare #specialguardian #specialguardianship #kinshipcarers #fostering #fostercare #adoption #adopting #fostercarereadinglist #adoptionreadinglist #socialworkreadinglist #therapeuticparenting #fosteringtraining #familledacceuil #fostermama #pflegefamilie #pflegemama #pflegemami #cuidadodeniños #adopcion #adoptionsupport #adoptionstory #adoptionjourney #adoptioncommunity #adoptionuk #adoptionukcommunity #grandparentcaregivers #kinship #kinshipstories #socialwork https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfzonz-Mbvl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
