Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care

A reassuring and honest story for children in foster care navigating uncertainty For children in foster care, many questions don’t have simple answers. Will I go back home? Will I stay here forever? Often, the answer is “maybe.” Maybe Days gently addresses the uncertainty children experience when so much about their lives feels unknown. Through clear, compassionate language, the book gives voice to the questions, worries, and mixed emotions that are common during foster care transitions. Written to be both honest and reassuring, the story helps children understand what is happening around them, including the roles of foster parents, caseworkers, and other adults in their lives. An afterword for foster parents and caregivers provides insight into children’s emotional experiences and offers practical guidance for supporting open communication, listening with care, and helping children adjust and thrive during their “maybe days.” Key features: Child-Centered Foster Care Story: Addresses common questions and feelings experienced by children in foster care in an age-appropriate way Validates Complex Emotions: Acknowledges that children may feel many emotions at once, including relief, sadness, fear, anger, and hope Clear, Reassuring Information: Helps children understand who the adults in their lives are and where they can turn for help Support for Caregivers: Includes a detailed afterword with guidance for foster parents and other adults on listening, communication, and emotional support Trusted Publisher: From Magination Press, the children’s imprint of the American Psychological Association, dedicated to emotional well-being and healthy development
