Dennis Lives with Grandma and Grandpa
Paul Sambrooks (Author) and Tommaso Levente Tani (Illustrator)
A book designed to help very young children who live, or are going to live, with family or friends.
It helps children understand what has happened, why they can no longer live with their parents, and to express their feelings about this.
In Dennis lives with Grandma and Grandpa, Dennis and his sister go to live with their grandparents, but the simple story is easily adaptable to children living in other kinship situations, for example, with an aunt, older sibling or close family friend.
The story also explores how the decision is made, the ducklings’ mixed feelings, and the issue of contact within kinship care, particularly around managing expectations and handling emotions.
