Ever wondered what you’d say to your kids if your partner got arrested? Wonder no more – it’s all explained in Melissa Higgins’ latest picture book The Night Dad went to Jail.
In fact, these days there is a book for almost every uncomfortable situation likely to arise in life. Where do babies come from? Where Willy Went. Bereavement? All My Friends are Dead. Substance abuse? My Big Sister Takes Drugs or I Wish Daddy Didn’t Drink So Much.
