Through its pages, the story vividly portrays the challenges these children face and provides them with a valuable sense of understanding that they are not alone in their struggles. The narrative revolves around Bethy, a young girl who lives with her Nan and her cat, Rudy, while her Mum is in prison. Nan plays a crucial role in helping Bethy navigate the complexities of dealing with questions from her school friends about her absence from her Mum's side. It can be particularly challenging for Bethy, especially when bidding farewell to her Mum after visiting her in prison alongside her Nan. However, she finds solace in supporting her friend Abbie, who has been dealing with the loss of her best friend and the knowledge that her Mum will be incredibly proud of her when she receives a Gold Star from her teacher during assembly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe My Parent in Prison Series is aimed at younger readers and is inspired by real-life stories and events. It is disheartening to note that, in the UK alone (as of 2022), approximately 312,000 children have a parent in prison, many of whom fall within the target age range of this book. This statistic reflects a broader global phenomenon, with millions of children worldwide affected by the incarceration of their parents. The significance of this vividly illustrated and attractively written work lies in its ability to reach and resonate with these children, offering them solace, guidance, and a sense of hope. By providing a platform for storytelling and empathy, the series has the potential to make a significant impact on their lives and help them overcome the challenges posed by their parent's imprisonment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 136g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 209 x 209 x 6 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781914603297\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lorna Brookes,Emily Livsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105909633274,"sku":"9781914603297","price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1664612552693_book.jpg?v=1664951865","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bethys-mum-is-in-prison-9781914603297","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
