If You Want to Introduce Your Kids to Adoption/Fostering this is a Great Book

What do chickens on your head have to do with adoption?

That’s exactly what the kids wanted to know in our newest Kids Ask Authors Answer episode featuring My New Home and Me by Holly Seavers.

What followed is a really thoughtful, eye-opening conversation about adoption, fostering, new experiences, and what it might feel like to step into someone else’s world. And it’s all from kids' questions.

Do you want to open your kids eyes to what adoption is? Or maybe you know a kid going through the process? Come explore this book, and the fun activities we have paired with it: https://www.kidsaskauthorsanswer.com/my-new-home-and-me

A Story About Adoption and Belonging

Hi everyone! We just released a new read-along and free activity resources for My New Home and Me on Kids Ask Authors Answer, and we’d love to have some kids participate in our upcoming author Q&A episode. Families and teachers can find the read-along video, free lesson plans, activity ideas, and printable coloring/activity pages here: https://www.kidsaskauthorsanswer.com/my-new-home-and-me

Kids can also send in questions for the author by Wednesday for a chance to be featured in the video! We love giving children the opportunity to connect directly with authors and ask the fun, creative questions adults would never think of. Come join us :)

It's back!!! The next Free Kids Ebook Day is set for August 5, 2026. I just opened submissions for children's book authors. All children's books are accepted as long as there is NO AI or clip art, and you must set your ebook free for the day. If you are an author and you want to join in, send me a message with a link to your book, and I'll send you the link to sign up.

Readers, mark your calendars! We had 200 authors participate last time, and I'm hoping it will be even bigger this time. If you want to make sure you don't miss it, you can sign up for my newsletter, and you will get a reminder on the big day: https://substack.com/@amydmomauthor

Please share with anyone that you think would like to grab some free books for the summer break, or if you know a children's book author that might like to participate, send it to them :)
