A conversation starter about addiction

Nicole Lendo’s book introduces addiction through the perspective of children who know or love someone experiencing it. It addresses two connected needs: understanding why addiction happens and finding ways to cope with the feelings that can arise when witnessing it. The book is designed to be read with a grown-up, making shared conversation part of its approach to a difficult subject. Its sparse, bold page design leaves room for children to engage with the ideas in their own way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children seeking an age-appropriate introduction to addiction
  • Families looking for a book to support conversations about a loved one’s addiction
  • Adults helping children name and understand feelings related to someone else’s addiction
