My Parent in Prison Tyler Does Not Have Contact With His Dad in Prison, Book 2, (Paperback)

Tyler Does Not Have Contact With His Dad in Prison is the second book in the new Parent in Prison Series of books for children of imprisoned parents. It portrays the challenges they face and allows them to understand they are not alone. Not all children can be in touch with a parent whilst in prison. This book by experienced social work practitioners tries to re-assure them about this difficult situation. The story tells why Tyler (unlike a friend of his) cannot contact his Dad as it would be unsafe. Instead his mother and social worker encourage him to follow his talent for art and keep letters, pictures and other things that remind him of Dad in a box. The series is pitched at younger readers and inspired by real life stories and events. Some 312,000 children have a parent in prison in the UK alone (2022) many of whom fall within the target age range (below) of this book. The figure is one in every 100 across Europe, millions of children worldwide, giving this vividly illustrated and attractively written work considerable potential. Helps parents explain a difficult situation to young children (ages 3-7).
