Introduction

Meet Charley Chatty

and her family

Charley Chatty lives with her brother, William Wobbly, and sisters, Rosie Rudey, Katie Careful and Sophie Spikey. The children did not have an easy start in life and now live with their new mum and dad. All the stories are true stories. The children are real children who had difficult times, and were left feeling as if they could not trust grown-ups to sort anything out, or look after them properly. Sometimes the children were sad, sometimes very angry. Often they did things which upset other people, but they did not understand why.

In this story, Charley has spotted some pennies lying around. She likes the shiny pennies and knows they will buy her nice things. The problem is, they do not belong to her and now they are in her piggy bank! Charley gets all hot and bothered when Dad starts looking for the lost pennies. Luckily, Charley’s new dad is good at working out what might have happened and helps Charley to put it all right again.

Written by Charley’s mum and big sister Rosie (who also liked to collect shiny things and is a grown-up now), this story will help everyone feel a bit better.
