Children’s author Flo Jackman has launched a new picture book that celebrates the beauty and diversity of modern families. The book, titled “Bridie’s New Family,” was inspired by Jackman’s own experiences and the stories of adoptive and kinship carers.
In an interview, Jackman shared her motivation behind the book, stating, “Adopted children deserve to see families like theirs in storybooks. Adoption is a story of love and belonging, proof that every family, however it’s made, is complete.”
The book follows the story of a young girl named Bridie, who finds her forever family through adoption. With themes of love, resilience, and connection, the book is aimed at children aged 2-8 and their adult readers.
Jackman’s mission is to create inclusive stories that normalize difference and help children feel seen. Through her gentle storytelling and vibrant illustrations, she hopes to encourage empathy, curiosity, and open conversations about identity and belonging.
The author, who is British, has been praised for her work by educators, parents, and adoption advocates who value stories that nurture confidence and understanding in young readers. Jackman shares insights, resources, and behind-the-scenes updates on her website, FloJackman.co.uk.
“Bridie’s New Family” is now available at major online retailers and selected independent bookshops. For signed copies, resources, and author events, readers can visit FloJackman.co.uk.
