love Doesn't Stop at the Wall: A gentle story for children with someone they in jail or prison

Love Doesn't Stop at the Wall When someone a child loves is in jail or prison, the world can suddenly feel confusing, frightening, and very far away. Love Doesn't Stop at the Wall is a gentle, beautifully illustrated story about a little girl learning that while walls can stop people from being together, they cannot stop letters, memories, prayers, stories-or love. With the steady reassurance of Grandma, she learns that grown-up choices are not her fault, that it is okay to miss Daddy, and that she is allowed to feel excited, nervous, sad, angry, confused, hopeful-or quiet. Through letters, drawings, memories, prayer, a long-awaited visit, and the comfort of home, she discovers something important: The wall is real. But so is love. Written especially for children affected by the incarceration of someone they love, this story offers families a compassionate way to begin conversations that can otherwise be very difficult. The book also includes A Note for the Adult Reading This Book, with simple language caregivers can use to reassure children that: they did not cause what happened, grown-ups are responsible for grown-up choices, they are allowed to miss the person they love, all of their feelings are okay, >Love Doesn't Stop at the Wall is a story of truth without fear, hope without pretending, and the lasting connection between a child and someone they love. Because love doesn't stop at the wall. Not ever.
