Riassunto

This classic children's book has helped many adopted children to understand their situation and what has happened to them. It sensitively explores the adoption process, from a child's point of view.

Nutmeg gets Adopted tells the story of three squirrels who have to leave their birth parents, are moved into a foster family, and then to a new mum and dad who adopt them. It is intended to be read to or with children by their own social worker, their current carers or adoptive parents. Guidelines offer suggestions as to how the book can be best used with children.

Children separated from their birth parents need practical help to explore and understand some of the painful memories they will have of their early life. This book, and the other five books in the series, provides that help.

L'autore:

Judith Foxon worked in adoption with the Catholic Chldren's Society, Nottingham. Direct work with children has formed a significant part of her social work experience over many years and as an adoptive parent and foster carer herself, she is strongly committed to developing better ways of helping families to communicate with and support their children. She trialled this book with children of differing ages in two local authorities before publication. She believes the book can be used simply as a story, particularly for getting to know a child, as a workbook and as a tool for therapy.
