Daddy's Time Out

The Time Out book series is geared to young children to help them understand their world when a parent, sibling, or other loved one is incarcerated.

In a relatable and age-appropriate way, the animals in each story share their struggles and revelations as they maneuver a difficult situation.

Through the eyes of Junebug, Nibblit, and Butters, children see that they are not alone.

The interactive nature of the books will gently open the lines of communication so that the child may feel less fear, confusion, and shame while learning to adapt to their new normal.

Nee Hall, an award-winning television producer, was inspired to write Daddy's Time Out, Mama's Time Out, and Peanut's Time Out from personal experience after accompanying a friend who took her children to see their father in prison. "There I was sitting in the prison lobby with this little boy who was upset and confused. When I looked around for a book or pamphlet to advise me how to comfort him, there wasn't any." So, the Los Angeles mother of two decided to write them. "It wasn't rocket science, but there was a need for these specific books for this demographic."
