A Christian Foster Care Picture Book Perfect for Explaining Foster Care to Kids
Have you ever thought about how to explain foster care to young children? It can be challenging to find the right words to describe sensitive situations in ways that honor everyone involved. We’re grateful to highlight a new resource that does just that.
God Loves Kids is written by Jamie C. Finn, the founder and president of Foster the Family, a national nonprofit that serves vulnerable children and the families welcoming them, as well as the founder of the Filled Gathering, the largest gathering of foster and adoptive moms in the world.
She shares about the real life of a foster and adoptive mom on her popular social media accounts, is a sought-after speaker, and is the mother of seven children through foster care, adoption, and birth.
Beautifully illustrated, God Loves Kids is a trauma-informed, gospel-centered children’s picture book designed to help you navigate difficult conversations about foster care with kids ages 3+.
Beginning with God’s initial plan for kids and families, the story introduces, with compassion and sensitivity, the challenges that bring about the need for foster care, what it looks like for foster families to show up for kids, and the different feelings everyone involved in foster care may experience.
The book ends where it begins, with the promise that God has a good plan for the kids he loves.
This unique resource helps children understand foster care and how they can trust God and his good plan to redeem every single story.
What we love most about God Loves Kids is the sweet illustrations of different types of foster families and the easy-to-understand language about the importance of foster care and how to approach it alongside faith.
