Customer Reviews

Wonderful book despite dull title

I first came across this book in my local library. Its rather dull-sounding title notwithstanding, the book is an easy-to-read, lively, thoroughly useful primer for young adults about job loss. As a parent who has experienced being laid off, I highly recommend this book for kids. ...Its main theme is that a parent's unemployment affects the children too, and it addresses the kids' concerns in a caring, positive, and reassuring manner.

Very helpful for children

I highly recommend this book to anyone from ages 12 and up. In a calm, clear, and engaging way, the author explains unemployment to children: how and why a parent might lose a job, how it affects the whole family, and how to cope with problems. The book is positive and quite comforting, while addressing concerns about unemployment straightforwardly. It's full of good, useful information, even for adults, and can really help children understand and cope with a difficult, yet all too common, issue.
