Daddy's Not Here (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187034598)

Some feelings are too big for little hearts to carry alone.

Children who grow up with a parent absent due to incarceration or addiction carry emotions that often feel too big to name. Sadness, anger, confusion, and shame can settle quietly inside a child long before they find words for what they feel.

Daddy's Not Here follows a Black mother and her two children as they navigate those big, heavy feelings together. Through honest conversation, warm reassurance, and a mother's unshakeable love, this story reminds every child that their feelings make sense, their family holds real beauty, and none of this is their fault.

This book serves caregivers, parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, and therapists who support children processing a parent's absence.

Open this book together and let the healing begin.
