	Price: £3.95	BAAF (2007) ISBN 978 1 905664 23 8

This short and colourful booklet provides an explanation of “kin” and explores why some children live in kinship care and what is special about it. It addresses many of the issues that are so important to children, such as: Who is in charge? Who makes the rules? How long does kinship care last? The guide is clearly set out and contains some fun and practical activities to help children understand what kinship care means.

Kinship Care: What it is and what it means is part of BAAF’s children’s guides series which is designed to provide easily accessible information on a variety of topics that children who are looked after, fostered or adopted need to know about. Attractively designed and with full colour photographs and illustrations, the guides are ideal for adults to read with children, to explain what are difficult concepts and complex processes. Many of them are interactive and will help children understand their status as well as enhance self-esteem.
