Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Hi buddy. I'm gone now."Dad's Note is a picture book for grown children who lost a parent to suicide. The whole text is a note a father wrote to his son, to be read years later. He wonders what the boy became. He wonders if there's a girlfriend, or a boyfriend. He wonders how Mom is. He says the pain was like knives in his brain, and that it was never, never, never about you.The pictures answer him. Where the note guesses, the picture knows. The son grew up. He became an art therapist for kids. He has someone, and a porch, and a wall of photographs with one old one of a bike. Mom is ok. And the thing the father feared he couldn't be, the son became, in a bedtime hug at the end of the book.There is no method on these pages, no hospital, no funeral. Every picture has a living person in it. The book follows safe messaging guidance for suicide, and a short note at the back gives the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's resources for loss survivors.For older teens and adults. Contains suicide and parental bereavement. Not intended for young children. A standalone book from the author of the Dad's Mental Health picture book series.
