Hey, kiddo Cover Image Book

Hey, kiddo / by Jarrett J. Krosoczka.

Hey, kiddo : (other title)
Krosoczka, Jarrett, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

In kindergarten, the author's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But his family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, in and out of rehab, and in and out of his life. His father is a mystery - he doesn't know where to find him, or even what his name is. The author lives with his grandparents - two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children - until the author came along. Hey, Kiddo is a profoundly important memoir about growing up in a family as it grapples with addiction, finding the people who help get you through, and the art that helps you survive.
