I have worked for over 20 years as a child and family therapist specialising in work with children who have been separated from their parents and siblings and have had to find new homes and families. I have published a number of academic books and journal articles on therapy and Attachment in family relationships. 'The Great Pram Escape' is my first book written for children. The story is an amalgam of th many narratives children have brought about the rollercoaster ride experienced when needing to find a forever family. T'he Great Pram Escape' narrates and illustrates the rocky road travelled. It focuses on the protective role played by a caring 'adult', represented by Pram, to ensure the baby's survival until permanence is found. A story for children once they are safely settled with their forever families, but also for those who know that things don't always go to plan but with the help of a persevering protective other who cares, they have succeeded in getting to where they needed to be.
