Helpful explanations about a complex situation

This book offers well organized, truthful (not sugar coated), and easy to understand explanations about the various aspects of having a parent in jail. The book even mentions how sometimes children go to live in a foster home when their parent(s) is in jail. Addressing such a difficult topic, in a way that young children can understand, is commendable. -Cynthia Miller Lovell, author of The Star: A story to help young children understand foster care, and Questions & Activities for The Star: A handbook for foster parents
