This is a journey of how Anderson's father is in prison and how he misses him and finds another little boy in the same situation.I think its a great feature of this book when it can show children who have fathers who are not in the home, and how children can relate to each others home life. While I did feel bad for little Anderson, I felt encouraged by this book because it presents the children finding hope, that thier parents will return. This book is good!

A sad premise, the loss of a daughter and how it affects the family dynamics, each member. I found it hard to get in to. I never felt connected to the characters and it didn’t make me cry. The author never let me inside, I felt I was just perusing in the edges.

A child is dealing with his baby brothers death. The book shows what emotions that the family are going through. The sibling doesn't understand why it happened to his little brother that was only 4 weeks old.
