“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 Magazine There 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.

As a retired teacher, I know firsthand that there are subjects that are often taboo or passed over in a classroom. Children often talk amongst themselves and other children are singled out or avoided. I also have seen firsthand children who have been in the middle of family battles, courtroom matters and incarceration matters. In the majority of these situations, the child or children is confused, frightened and in many cases will blame him or herself.This is a wonderful book for children who have family members who are incarcerated.I highly recommend this book
A sensitive topic, to be sure, but one that cannot be left unaddressed. As a HS administrator I work with students who have lived this story and are still working through what it means to have a parent incarcerated. Anthony's passion extends beyond telling his personal story to help others learn from his mistakes-his awareness of the impact on children demonstrates an understanding of the ripple effects of crime...even so-called victim-less crimes.
Bought this shortly after it came out and I am so pleased with it, I have to write a review. I barely do, so this means something. If you think the cover of the book looks good, wait until you (and your children) open it up. Jail is a very complex topic, especially for a child, to deal with. This book will help understand the situation in a very calm way. It's golden in the way it is made and I hope to see more of it, more of Anthony Curcio!!
I purchased this book for my nephew after his father (my brother) was incarcerated. During this time, my nephew stayed with my husband and I, and this is such a difficult topic to address with a child. But this book was very helpful explaining that, no, Daddy isn't bad, he just made a bad mistake, and when you're an adult, mistakes are handled differently. This book was a great starting point in teaching my nephew that his dad still loves him. Five stars. Recommended for anyone going through this situation with their family.
This is a well written book about a sensitive topic. I felt the author did a good job trying to put a playful yet serious spin on what happen. Good people make mistakes, but we live in a society that is mean and sometimes the kids are the ones hurt the most by things they can not control. I would defiantly recommend that all of the correctional facilities in the country have this book in their library. In my opinion it will have a positive effect on mothers & fathers behind bars as well.
A great book, a needed book, a powerful book. Too often we read children's books only about the fun and the pure. But this book talks about an honest and important part of society. The more we can make criminals and former criminals human, the more we can help the kids understand that criminals are still human, still important, still fathers, still vital to families.
Initially skeptical, but was shocked at how well this was received. I admit I had a similar perspective as 'Rhymer Roach' (before the little guy went to jail) and how he viewed the animals in the jail of a zoo! So much work, time and compassion went into the creation of this book, 5-stars!
This book is an excellent resource. It explains the sadness of such a situation and the feelings that follow but it ends with such a beautiful message. It is unfortunate that books like this are so needed due to the overwhelming incarceration rate but luckily there are engaging materials like this available. I really recommend this book.
