A gentle picture book for children after domestic abuse
Where's My Daddy? is for young children who no longer see their dad after domestic abuse, whether he can't be in their life or has chosen not to be. It tells them, gently and plainly, that it isn't their fault, that they are loved, and that they are safe.
Written by Zoe Jones from her own family's experience, and illustrated in soft watercolours by Jacinta Kay. Best for children aged about 3 to 8, with a bonus poem for parents at the end.
