LETTING THEM KNOW THEY ARE LOVED
The Purpose of This Series
Children in foster care typically have many individuals moving in and out of their lives. This constant change can lead to the false belief that no one loves them—it doesn’t even seem like anyone will stay with them for the long term.
This series is designed specifically to give children a different perspective on the people they interact with while they are in foster care. Each person shows love and attention in different ways, by doing their job or providing protection. The overarching message to the child is You are worthy and you are loved, and we are all here to help bring about the best for you!
Additionally, these books can educate others about the foster care journey many children may take, explain the changes and challenges they may face and introduce the many people who love and care for them.
Age-specific stories
Books for Toddlers to Pre-Teens
Each book has an overall theme of love and care geared to a specific age level. Children who have or will be experiencing foster care may want to talk about specific people or situations in their lives as a result of reading the story. Allow them to do that, honoring their feelings and experiences and reinforcing the idea that, while no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, the people in their lives ultimately care for their well-being.
Who Loves Baby?, Who Loves Me? and I Am Loved are three age-specific stories that are designed specifically for children in foster care and focus on the love and care provided by the many people our children interact with on a regular basis.
The goal of this series is to let them know they are loved, not only by those who care for them, but by the God who created them for a special, unique role only they can fill. They are loved. They have purpose. They matter!
