Good story to read to children with alcoholic parents. A lot of the story had similar aspects to what children experience when they have parents with alcoholism. My ten year old related more than my 12 year old. I think the story is for younger children, not tweens.
I find it is a good book but for kids that are older that 8 or 9, maybe hard to read for youngers. What I didn't liked was the end, when the parent stop drinking. I think this is not the reallity; we face a huge problem when somebody drinks and what I looking for are tools for my children to understand and be strong.What I liked is how the book pictures the problems and sadness that help kids to realize that they are not alone, they are other kids who badly live the same reality. it brakes with the isolation feeling.Good luck...
Story of a girl with an alcoholic father. Focuses on her embarrassment when he is drunk at her birthday party. The father gets treatment at the end of the story (then gets sober again after a relapse) so this may not be a relatable book for kids whose parent has not gotten help. Appropriate for grades K-6.
The ending is happy. This is not always the case. It gives children hope where this is little to none for many children.
Very simple book for wide range of children
