What is Jail, Mommy?

What is Jail, Mommy?

Author - Jackie A. Stanglin, Illsustrated by Clema Jade McGuckie

This book was inspired by a much-loved, five year old whose father has been incarcerated most of her life. One day after visiting with friends who have both devoted parents in the home, this little girl blurted out to her mother in frustration, "What is jail anyway, and why can't Daddy be home with us?" She needed answers! When the truth is withheld from children they tend to blame themselves for other's mistakes and short-comings. It is the author's firm belief that it is incumbent on each of us to provide age-appropriate facts to young inquiring minds. To do otherwise will be evident in future generations. What Is Jail, Mommy? not only explains why the parent is incarcerated but what his/her life is like as an inmate.
