New book – Growing Shoots With Deep Roots
A new book, which has been written by experienced social workers, aims to help children understand sibling separation.
The book called ‘Growing Shoots With Deep Roots’ uses rhymes and illustrations to help children and families explore their connection to families and nature.
The book explains why some parents can’t parent and provides a space in the book to write and draw children’s own family trees and who their roots talk to.
This book celebrates different families touching on fostering, adoption, kinship and half-siblings, while weaving the scientific and natural worlds, using trees talking to each other to provide a backdrop to the connected roots of family.
Written by Kim McPherson and Lisa Wilson, who run Help2Tell, a life story service creating custom poems and books for donor conceived and care experienced children, the book is available to buy on Amazon.
