Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care

Children entering foster care frequently have questions about why they're in foster care, what foster care is and what it means to live in foster care.  The book, Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care, by Jennifer Wilgocki and Marcia Kahn Wright, helps answer those questions. 

Maybe Days is recommended for children up to age 12 and can be adjusted to be developmentally and situationally appropriate. The book encourages connection and gives children permission to talk about confusing events they are experiencing and the questions they have. Consider reading this book during the day (instead of before bed) and then plan something fun to do with the child afterward to build trust and allow time for conversations around the thoughts and feelings the child may have after reading the story. 

Four reasons this book is recommended (from a Youtube review by The Early Childhood Therapist):

  1. Many placement and foster care questions, feelings, and situations are discussed. While a child’s specific situation may not be covered, Maybe Days can open discussion around what the child’s situation does look like. 
  2. The underlying message to children is that they are safe and loved by many people. 
  3. Maybe Days explains the roles of all the adults (GAL, Foster Parent, social worker, etc) in the child's life and it could help children connect the adults in their situation with the explanations in book. Maybe Days also shares that a child's job is to play, go to school, and be a kid. 
  4. There's a section in the back of the book with caregiver tools for navigating conversations, children’s possible reactions and difficult situations children might be experiencing.
