Floating away : a book to help children understand addiction / written by Andrew J. Bauman ; illustrated by Wahyu Nugroho.

Bauman, Andrew J.,: (author.). Nugroho, Wahyu, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Addiction can be an incredibly difficult subject for parents and caregivers to discuss with children, who are often the ones most impacted by it. This book provides an avenue for dialogue with the over 18 million children who are affected by addiction in America. It follows a simple metaphor of addiction as the main character, Sam, is swept away in a bubble. At first he is curious and excited, but he slowly becomes bored and isolated, encounters a devastating storm, and, finally, tries to find his way back home to his family. His journey symbolizes the struggle of addiction in a way children can understand."--Page 4 of cover
