Goodreads asked B.L. Callaghan:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

B.L. Callaghan As a foster carer I see many young people struggle with the loss of identity, confidence and the sense of self within the community. The “Kids in Care” series is aimed at children in the foster care system.
The goal of this series is to help children in these situations feel less confused, scared and alone.
These stories will hopefully reassure and comfort them while remaining relatable to situations that they may be going through.
I wanted to encourage open communication while removing some of the stigma surrounding foster kids and help build self-esteem and confidence. Perhaps even be a voice that educates others on what these children have to deal with.
It is important that children in Foster Care have an outlet for their questions, opinions and experiences. These books help give them a chance to open up. To realize that their voice and experiences matter.
