Don’t Forget Daddy by Theresa Franklin is a delightful book to read to any young child experiencing change in the family dynamics whether it is through divorce, remarriage or the death of a parent, especially in respect to loss of a father. 

Author Theresa Franklin, writes with heartfelt compassion by addressing these delicate subjects in a creative way that will help identify any feelings that a child may be holding on to in their emotions.  By opening up the lines of communication, this book will allow a child going through similar circumstances to be able to share their feelings.  This book offers wonderful solutions to any young child on how to cope with the change in the family.

The short story opens with Ashley, a young child, sitting and conversing with a man who has become mommy’s friend.  She likes him, but does not know how to feel about him because she doesn’t want to forget her daddy.  With colorful illustrations and an easy to read dialogue your child will be able to understand this book as Ashley accepts her new daddy, and her new life with wonderful excitement.  We find out through the book that change is okay and can be a good thing for all the parties involved.

With the divorce rate being close to 50 percent these days, many young children have to adapt to the loss of a parent and/or a new stepparent.  Change is not easy, especially when you don’t understand why it is happening.  To a child this can be devastating and as parents it is imperative that these issues are addressed along with any feelings a child might have towards the change in the family dynamics.  This book will help you do just that in a loving and compassionate way.

Don’t forget Daddy is also a recommended book for parents or physiologists that want to open the dialogue between parent and child.  This book can be used as a tool for parents or professionals to address a child’s feelings whatever they may be towards the change in the family dynamics.  It would be a perfect book for the mother who is remarrying with young children.  I read it to my 6 year old daughter and all she could say was, “Again, again!”  She loved it and I look forward to more books from this talented author that address issues with children and their feelings!

My Books Published

I have long wanted to write a book.   Of course with a career and family, there wasn't time.  A year and a half ago after an emotionally difficult time, the Lord pressed upon my heart to begin writing a book about the difficult times in my life and lessons learned from them.  At the same time, I worked on children's books.  Two of my books are ready to be released later in the spring.  They are not available at bookstores yet, but can be ordered through Tate Publishing.  I am planning some pre-release parties in 4-6 weeks.  The books will be available from me at that time.

Journey to Fulfillment chronicles the painful events in my life and how those events shaped my thoughts, convictions, and personality.  In the book I help the reader examine scarring events in his or her life and what influence those experiences had on the person he or she is today.  This book has been bathed in prayer while being written and since being submitted.  It is the prayer of my husband and myself that this book will be a blessing to all who read it.  The official release date of Journey to Fulfillment is June 21 and will be available at bookstores and websites at that time.

Don't Forget Daddy is a children's book about a little girl who is facing accepting a step-father after the death of her own daddy.  The book shows how her mother and Robert, the future step-father, help her work through her feelings of missing her daddy and becoming emotionally comfortable with the idea of a step-father.  The official release date of Don't Forget Daddy is April 5 and will be available at bookstores and websites on that date.

Information on the pre-release parties will be available in a week or so.  I hope you will be able to join me at one of them and help me celebrate the blessings God has given me.  Meanwhile, please pray that God uses my books to be a blessing to others.
