Description

The Tricky Sticky Addiction Monster is a beautifully illustrated book that addresses the heavy subject of addiction in a lighthearted and straightforward manner. It follows the story of a young boy named Sam, whose mom encounters the Addiction Monster. As the Monster gains a hold on her, Sam learns important lessons: the problem is addiction, not his mom; it's not his fault; and he will be okay regardless of the outcome. The book does not specify the type of addiction, making it a versatile resource for various situations. It serves as an excellent conversation starter and a helpful tool for explaining addiction to children aged 5-10 years old. It is a valuable resource for therapists, social workers, foster parents, counsellors, teachers, and anyone working with a child affected by addiction.
