Visiting Day by Jacqueline Woodson
The title of this book is Visiting Day written by Jacqueline Woodson. It was published by Scholastic Press.
This book caught my attention because of the message it delivers. I was not a victim of this circumstance but many children are. It is sad to say that at the same time these children are lucky in this situation. It is far worse for other kids who simply are removed from the life of the absent parent by the forces that be i.e government, court, family etc…
The author who wrote this book made it fiction but she also lived this situation first hand. I guess it is fiction because she used her imagination and not base it entirely on her personal experience.
Why I wrote it:There are many reasons why a person may go to prison and based on their crimes they may or may not be able to contact the outside world. It is a stressful situation when a prisoner has other obligations such as young relatives and also older ones that they are close too. They may not be able to personally provide the care for their relatives or have someone on the outside to do it for them. In many cases this is the ultimate punishment for their acts.
Because once a month when I was a little girl, I would go upstate and visit my favorite uncle. I remember those days well and wanted to write about them. This book isn’t completely autobiographical but there is a lot of me in it.~ Jacqueline Woodson
In this story the family is happy on visiting day. They have waited all month for this day and it has finally arrived. Now is the time for final preparation to travel to a relative who is depended on them to make the journey. Why? Because, they are confined at their location and have many restrictions placed upon them. This relative is not in a hospital but in prison .
