This book is meant to help open a line of communications between the middle-school reader and a loved one or family friend who is in prison. It is the author's hope that valuable information will be received by the reader and used as a foundation of learning and understanding more about the criminal justice system from the time a person is arrested to the time they are released from prison. This book is also meant to help the reader understand that he or she is not the only one who has a loved one or friend of the family in prison. Those who are imprisoned are from every socio-economic level of our communities. Lastly, it is the hope of the author that the reader realizes he or she is not responsible for the negative behavior of those who have been sentence to prison. The reader is, however, a very important reason why someone in prison should want to return home and never return to prison away from their loved ones.

In this moving picture book from multi-award winning author Jacqueline Woodson, a young girl and her grandmother prepare for a very special day--the one day a month they get to visit the girl's father in prison. "Only on visiting day is there chicken frying in the kitchen at 6 a.m, and Grandma in her Sunday dress, humming soft and low." As the little girl and her grandmother get ready, her father, who adores her, is getting ready, too, and readers get to join the community of families who make the trip together, as well as the triumphant reunion between father and child, all told in Woodson's trademark lyrical style, and beautifully illusrtrated by James Ransome.

Features an audio read-along! With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
