“Written by an ex-con. Endorsed by PhD’s, school principals and judges. Awesome book with an inspiring message: You are loved and you will get through this.”-BERT BURYKILL, Vice MagazineThere are nearly three million adults in the U.S. alone that are in prison or jail. Many of these being parents that leave behind unanswered questions with their children:What is jail? Why did this happen? Is it my fault? Is my daddy (or mommy) bad? Do they love me?My Daddy’s in Jail is a story of two bears who have a father in prison. The book is narrated by a very odd cockroach.

Absolutely loved the illustrations and the message in this story. Being a sponsor to two children with there father in jail, I was looking for a book that they could share with their friends to help them with telling their story and this was the perfect choice. The author also kept the children engaged with this book with the search and find! 5 stars, well done!

My kids were interested in the police and what jail was. This was a good book to give them an idea of what that world is like, without freaking them out. The illustrations are top notch

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017

Cute Book, Awesome Illustrations. However, there's so much going on in the book it's kind of hard to follow. The names are weird and I feel like it's so busy, that it takes away from the message. This is the only book I was able to find geared for children when a parent is in Jail. We are a white, middle class working family from Maine with a stepdad in jail for an OUI charge. My sons loved finding the little guy hidden on every page of the book! Overall, I recommend this book. God Bless!
