Cover: Something Happened to Our Mom: A Story about Parental Addiction

“The co-authors sensitively unpack complex feelings and dynamics, underscoring that addiction doesn’t make someone a bad person, that the path to rehabilitation can be bumpy, and that drug issues are far more common than children might realize. Tan’s artwork is emotionally charged, reinforcing the theme of support. . . . Robust backmatter includes information for educators and caregivers, including a sample dialogue for discussing the story. . . . An empowering and empathetic jumping-off point for important conversations about addiction and recovery.”—Kirkus Reviews
