A beautiful children's book which introduces children to diverse family dynamics. If you have children, nieces/nephews, or a child in your life, it is a must-read.

We do need more books featuring children with incarcerated parents. This is one I would add to my library collections; however, the prose is a bit clunky in that it loses its rhythm on many pages to make the rhymes work.

Loved this book that normalizes having a parent in prison.

A good book to read-aloud in the library with elementary school kids. It speaks well to let kids know it is not nice to make fun of someone with a parent in prison. The smiling girl nick-named 'light bright' by her daddy loves when she gets to visit him. Family is family!
Kids need to know we all have many levels of difficulties in our family lives outside of the school. Friends and family and counselors are all available to help, and talk to, or to simply sit and be quiet with them.
Light-Bright simply misses her Daddy. Lets not make anything harder for her.

A good resource for kids dealing with a parent who is incarcerated. Also a great discussion guide for parents/educators in the back.

Beautifully illustrated children’s book focused on a maybe second grader who misses her dad in prison. Real. Necessary book for any library.
