...covers a topic rarely addressed in children's literature- in order to assist children whose parents have been arrested or imprisoned. . . .many childcare professionals and social workers have said that "The Night Dad Went to Jail" is proving a vital resource in helping the children of convicted criminals deal with complex emotions. . . .it helps children of felons to feel as if they are not alone, and that it should be available in every public library., 'The Night Dad Went to Jail: What to Expect When Someone You Love Goes to Jail' follows a young rabbit as his father is arrested at their house in front of the neighbors and sentenced to six years in prison. It offers tips for dealing with the hardship of losing a parent for many years and an explanation of what to expect as a mother or father going through the legal process. . . .The book follows young Sketch as he experiences confusion and even anger at his father being hauled away to jail. It also provides comprehensive footnotes for children to better understand what their locked-up loved ones are going through., With its volumes on the expiration of a pet, the death of a relative, and divorce, it would be nice if the Life's Challenges series wasn't necessary. But where trauma exists, there will always be picture books up to the challenge of addressing them. This sober explainer tells the story of a little bunny (or possibly a dog) named Sketch, whose life is disrupted when his father is carted away from home one night by the police. Salient details are in place: the cop who gives Sketch a teddy bear, the social worker who answers questions, the children's support group that Sketch joins a few weeks later. Dad's crime goes unspecified, though the six-year sentence suggests something significant. Occasional boxes fill in important facts (what a law is, how it's OK to feel awkward in a jail); and key images--such as speaking to Dad through a fiberglass wall--are not avoided. Higgins' language is well pitched for adults to read to children, while Kirwan's art hits a nice balance between softness and realism., Footnotes throughout the book offer definitions of technical terms and further explain why a child might feel the way they do in reaction to their loved one going to jail. It provides relatable emotions to a new situation to help children understand that what they're feeling is normal and that others may experience the same., These titles walk youngsters through the various emotions they are likely to experience when confronted with a traumatic event. . . .caregivers and counselors will find these books useful when attempting to discuss these situations.
