One care leaver said, “Don’t underestimate us, don’t overestimate us. For years we’ve been fuelled by rage, going forwards we want to be fuelled by love.”

Jo Francis, Publishing Manager, sat down with 3 members of the author team that worked on ‘Where did my dinosaur go?’ to talk about where the idea came from, their research findings & how that impacted the story that they told.

“After 2 years of living with us, our young person told me that I was his best friend. When I asked him why, he said ‘best friends care about each other, and nobody cares about me more than you’.”
