Description

Kids who have lived with the chaos of addiction are often relieved, but just as often confused, when a parent enters recovery. This enlightening picture book explores the positive change in a family's life after Daddy enters recovery with a surprisingly light touch for a tough subject. Fully illustrated, with predictive rhyming text for emergent readers, Daddy Goes to Meetings helps kids see just why a parent needs meetings, and addresses their curiosity about what goes on there.
