Poetry and Pictures

FCA asked our looked after children and young people to get creative, and didn’t they just!

Through the power of poetry, we gave the looked after children and young people in our care the opportunity to write down their thoughts and feelings.

We’ve drawn together a selection of their work to create ‘Hundreds and Thousands, Secrets and Dreams' – a fine selection of poems and artwork by children of all ages.

“A feast of wonderful, thought-provoking poetry and terrific artwork from talented young people involved in foster care, this book has the power to touch every emotion.”
Nick Sharratt, Children’s book illustrator
