This book is a counseling tool for adults to read with children to help the child understand the actions of a parent or loved one who has been affected by drug addiction. There is a page at the end of the book that gives some suggested guidelines for using this tool. An example is:1.Read the book with the child and stop whenever you see an expression on the child's face that tells you that they recognize themselves in the situation. It could be just a change in posture, facial expression, or you could even sense that the child is closing up. Don't let that door close, if necessary, stop and start again later.
