When Delly Duck lays an egg, she is excited for it to hatch. But she doesn't really know how to keep an egg safe, or how to look after her chick when he hatches. See how a concerned goose tries to help Delly to learn how to care for her chick, in this touching adoption story. Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn't Stay With His Birth Mother is intended to help support and stimulate discussion around some of the questions an adopted or fostered child (or another child trying to understand adoption) may have. The story can be used to help answer difficult and emotive questions, such as "Why can't I live with my birth mother?" and "Why didn't someone just teach her how to parent me safely?" No two adoption stories are the same, so symbolism has been used that is open to appropriate interpretation by the parent, social worker, play therapist, teacher or other adult reading this story with a child. The beautifully-illustrated story includes animal characters that may reflect common behaviours and responsibilities of several of the key people involved in an adoption process. Delly is a likeable duck, who sadly makes some poor choices and struggles to care for her chick in a consistently safe way. The book includes a helpful guide to the symbolism, with suggestions as to how the various metaphors can be used to support therapeutic life story work and answer questions about the challenges faced by a child's birth parents, such as memory or concentration problems, addiction and/or poor or inconsistent role models during their own childhoods.Above all, it portrays that all adults involved want the best for adopted children, and that they are so very loved.
From the author of award-winning children's story books including Delly Duck, Room in the Nest and Cousins by Adoption comes another sensitively-crafted story to make difficult conversations easier. Little Chick couldn't live with his birth mother, Delly Duck, because she didn't look after him properly, or keep him safe, so he is surprised to hear that she has laid another egg, and this duckling will be staying with her Little Chick has lots of feelings and questions about this confusing situation, which Quill answers to put his mind at ease. This story can be used to gently address some of the questions a care-experienced child may have when their biological mother makes the changes needed to be able to parent another child. This story is suitable for children who have adoptive families, long term foster carers, special guardians, kinship carers, connected carers and other friend-and-family carers.Praise for Room in the Nest"...This magnificent story shows sensitivity to the topic and complicated feelings surrounding foster care. She explains how the Caring Goose always tries to help the parents out first and give them guidance and that she is not trying to rip families apart but instead shows compassion and works to try and keep families together. Still, sometimes that is not always best for the children. Room in the Nest is a heartwarming picture book that teaches children about foster care, foster placements, long-term fostering, kinship care, reunification, adoption, and a broad look at family court. This is a beautiful story to share with children that have to go through this process to help ease their fears and for other children to understand what happens if someone they know goes into foster care. This honest and beautiful look at the system is a much-needed resource for families, teachers, social workers, and anyone working with troubled families." - Literary Titan "...Holly has taken a complex and emotionally charged concept and presented it in a way that children will appreciate and understand..." - Readers' Favorite "...Room in the Nest" is a great tool to use for life story work to start discussions about foster carers. It's also a great book for all children to read, to help them understand why some children need to stay with foster carers sometimes for a short period of time, sometimes for much longer." - We Made A Wish adoption magazinePraise for Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn't Stay With His Birth Mother"One of the best adoption books of all time" - BookAuthority "...a beautifully illustrated children's story book, explaining big issues like adoption and fostering, in an age appropriate way." - We Made A Wish adoption magazine "Delly Duck is a great choice for adopted and fostered children to explain adoption or support therapeutic life story work. The book can be used to help answer difficult and emotive questions..." - Maggie and Rose Book Adventurers "A fantastic book for Parents, Foster Parents, Adoptive Parents, Legal Guardians, Kinship Carers, Social Workers, Play Therapists or Teachers... I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is adopting, fostering, or is a child's Legal Guardian... I love the way the book shows the love, and loss of the birth parent, and highlights the fact that sometimes a birth parent is simply not equipped with the necessary skills to keep their child safe consistently.This beautiful, sensitively written story explains why a child may need to be removed from their birth parent, and explores in a gentle way the emotions felt by parent and child, and the roles other people play in protecting the child, and offering the child a loving, safe environment..." - Icing on the Bake Please click on the series name to see more books by this author about foster care, kinship care, special guardianship and adoption.
