The King and the Monster: Let's Talk About Addiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780964212886)

Are you looking for a way to explain the disease of addiction to young children?

Do you want a book that...

Is a story of love and compassion?

Has a vision of healing, health and happiness?

You've found it!

Late one night, Kathi Lockwood received a phone call from a family member. She heard a frantic voice: "Please write a book to help me explain to Annie* why her father had to go away." Six-year-old Annie's dad had just entered a rehabilitation center for addiction.

With an aching heart, yet up to the challenge, Lockwood conceived the metaphor of the King and the Monster: a loving father who falls into the trap of addiction. When the King asks for help, Guardian angels, a wisdom tree, and Healing Helpers all aid him in his journey to health and his joyful reunion with his family.
