Overview

Blackbird Merry's mummy isn't very good at looking after her, and one day Merry falls out of the badly made nest. She is rescued by Jo, a little foster-bird robin, who cares for her and makes her feel safe again. Merry settles into Jo's nest and starts to grow, but can Jo's little nest hold such a big bird? Maybe it's time to look for a new nest for Merry, but how can she leave the place where she feels safe? A touching story for children aged around 5 - 11 to help them transition from foster care to their forever home through adoption. This book recognises the importance of the attachment between foster carers and looked-after children as well as offering them a beautiful metaphor to help them feel positive about the future.

Author Information

Author Eleanor de Bruin has a background in publishing educational materials for children, is a journalist and editor in the toy industry and has two young children of her own. She comes from a foster family (with a mum called Jo!) and this book was created due to the realisation that there is a gap in the market for a book that recognises the attachment that children feel towards their foster carers. This book should help with that difficult transition by validating children's feelings and setting them free to feel positive about their future with their adoptive families. Eleanor is Scottish and lives in a nest in the English Midlands with her teacher husband and two lovely baby chicks.
