- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A young girl is having trouble enjoying Christmas. She's excited about the sled her dad got her, but he won't open her card or go sledding like promised. Instead, he just gets drunk and angry before fighting with our protaganists mother. The mother and daughter go visit Ms. Fields, a recovering alcoholic they had met through a support group. They all share Christmas dinner together and our main character felt safe at Ms. Fields.What I could appreciate about this book was the bluntness of it. Children of addicts/ alcoholics know words such as "beer", "drunk", and "bar" at inappropriately young ages. So while some may find the vocabulary too adult or jarring, it actually makes sense in the book. I also appreciated Ms. Fields, because she was prove that a parent can recover from addiction. This is an incredibly sad and heavy book, but a necessary one.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great children's book designed to help kids cope with the emotional strain of dealing with the unpredictable mood swings and behaviors of an alcoholic parent. Not a guide to enabling alcohol abuse as some have claimed in other reviews, but rather an attempt to teach children stuck in such a situation not to blame themselves for the anger or neglect they invariably perceive from somebody they look to for love and affection.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Age 3-8This book is to adults that provides insight into the child's feelings and for parents in assisting their child's understanding the situation of alcohol abuse in the family. It Addresses and gives telephone numbers for Al-Anon and the Children of Alcoholics Foundation. This title is best placed in encourage and sharing situations with family struggles with alcoholism. This book portrays a balanced understanding of the sober and alcoholic parent and an early primary age child trying to make sense of it all.
