The premiere book in the series focuses on the relationship between a young boy and his incarcerated father. It places emphasis on no matter the location of a parent and his child, there is space for their bond to be solid and unbroken.

The common reality of having an incarcerated parent can diminish the child/parent relationship, due to the daily absence of a parent. With her own child, Ms. Tynes has experienced that if both parents, families, and friends, make it a priority to nurture the relationship between a child and their incarcerated parent, statistically children will benefit from having that strong relationship regardless of the situation.

As a MHP who has worked in the Prison setting, I would recommend this book 100%. It is simple, straight forward, and to the point. It provides multiple scenarios that are important to the child, and what he/she would want to share with a parent.

“He’s Still My Dad” is one of the most inspiring and powerful children’s books on the shelves. It depicts the love and trust between a young boy and his incarcerated father. It’s an easy read that mirrors real-life situations.
