Letters Through the Wall: Stories of Hope and Resilience for Children with an Incarcerated Parent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183640182)

If you are missing someone right now - if you carry something heavy and quiet - this book was written for you.

Letters Through the Wall is a collection of seven short stories for children ages 7-10 who have a parent in prison. Each story follows a different child through a real emotional moment - a school assignment, a phone call, a quiet night at the kitchen table - toward a place of greater strength, connection, and hope.

Zora finds the courage to tell the truth. Marcus discovers that saying something honest out loud can change everything. Lucía finds her father in the warmth of a family tradition. Maya learns that real strength isn't about never breaking. Emma finds home in an unexpected place. Mateo realizes he is already enough. And Jaylen finally gets the moment he's been waiting for.

More than 2.7 million children in the United States have a parent who is incarcerated - yet very few books speak directly to what these children carry. Letters Through the Wall treats its young readers with honesty, dignity, and warmth, never shame.

Perfect for:

• Children with a parent who is incarcerated
• Parents and caregivers looking to open a difficult conversation
• School counselors and social workers
• Classroom and library collections
• Anyone who wants children to know: you are not alone, you are not invisible, and a hard life is never the whole story of who you are

"You are not carrying this alone."
