A helpful resource

I see more and more children facing this problem. This book focuses on the loneliness a child might feel in this situation. The character is very ashamed and is teased about his father's incarceration. The books help children to not take on the shame of the parent's crime;it is appropriate and unjudgemental. It is a helpful tool to meet the needs of a suffering child.
