Meet Lucie – she is a rambunctious, inquisitive, seven-year-old girl who was adopted! Lucie has lots of questions about everything. When Lucie’s pregnant Aunt Grace and Uncle John come to visit, new curiosities bubble into Lucie’s mind. What does the baby do in there? Does he eat? That night Lucie has an amazing dream, that her birth parents are a king and queen who live in a castle. She knows she grew in her birth mother’s tummy, but if her birth parents lived in a castle, why didn’t they keep her?
The next day, Dad helps her to make an amazing discovery – he tells her how to find a special connection with her birth parents, and how you can too!
Forever Fingerprints is a heartwarming, fun story written for children aged 5-11 which uses an everyday experience to embark upon a gentle exploration of some of the difficult questions and feelings commonly expressed by children who are adopted. Adoption expert Sherrie Eldridge also provides a valuable ‚Parent Tools and Activities‘ section, with ideas for creative activities and suggestions on how to explore issues such as belonging, identity, self-esteem and connection.
