Meet Teddy, a young bear cub who can no longer live with his bear parents.

Like many children in foster care, Teddy must learn to live in two worlds as he navigates new relationships while holding onto the love of his first home.

We Wish We Could: A Foster Care Story is a heartfelt picture book that explores themes of love, loss, belonging, and resilience. Through gentle storytelling and tender illustrations, children in care - and the families who support them - will see their experiences reflected with honesty and hope.

Created with compassion and lived experience, this story offers a safe space for children to explore complex emotions and understand that they are not alone. Parents, carers, educators, and support workers can use this book to open conversations and build understanding around foster care.
