My Daddy Went to Jail and I Am Sad is about unfortunate real-life instances that are hard to talk about with our children. Sometimes, we as parents are embarrassed to talk to our family and friends and especially our children when a parent makes a mistake in life and ends up in the judicial system. We need to be open with our children about these things and talk about things that are hard. This book is one of those ways to help in talking to our children. Proverbs 28:13 says, "He who covers his sins will not prosper. But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."
