This is an important and timely book, which sets out both the challenges and the achievements of foster carers' day-by-day work.
This beautiful quote will stay with me forever:
"Always make sure they have a blanket when they leave. Don't wash it, as it needs to have a familiar smell to help them settle. Even our 16-year old took a blanket with her."
This is a great guide, packed full of information and insight about how best to navigate the world of fostering.
It's the book I wish I'd had when I was considering fostering and in my first few years.
