A reassuring and honest story for children in foster care navigating uncertainty

For children in foster care, many questions don't have simple answers. Will I go back home? Will I stay here forever? Often, the answer is "maybe." Maybe Days gently addresses the uncertainty children experience when so much about their lives feels unknown. Through clear, compassionate language, the book gives voice to the questions, worries, and mixed emotions that are common during foster care transitions.

Written to be both honest and reassuring, the story helps children understand what is happening around them, including the roles of foster parents, caseworkers, and other adults in their lives. An afterword for foster parents and caregivers provides insight into children's emotional experiences and offers practical guidance for supporting open communication, listening with care, and helping children adjust and thrive during their "maybe days."
