Clarissa Pettaway has waited five years for her father to come home from prison. When the day finally arrives, her mother makes a special dinner, and her father calls her his favorite names: Oh, Clarissa, Sissy, Sassafrass Girl, I'm never gonna leave you again. Soon, however, Clarissa discovers it isn't all that easy for people who have been incarcerated to rejoin their families and reenter society. Clarissa has to learn to cope with the reality of her father being out of prison, and all of the confusing, conflicting emotions it creates in her. Two books in one, Clarissa's Disappointment combines a moving children's story with resources to assist the families, teachers and counselors of children of incarcerated parents. The author, Megan Sullivan, is an associate professor at Boston University who specializes in helping children with incarcerated parents. Her own father was incarcerated when she was 10 years old. The illustrator, Daniel Jay, a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, is a nationally recognized artist whose mission is to inspire where art and science meet. Clarissa's Disappointment won the Press's Larry D. Underwood Prize for Children's Literature.

Love it!
Color: White, Size: 2 Rolls
A very nice bracelet holder. It's much better than I anticipated. It holds everything perfectly. There is enough room on the bottom to store a lot of different things. The bracelet hold there feels sturdy, and I love the color. I like how I can look at the bracelet through the window.

Impressed. This is a nice case. You can slip the bracelets on without any fuss. While I haven’t finished filling this one, I’m already considering a second case for watches and ankle bracelets. It’s convenient to see your items rather than digging for them. Nothing gets tangled either. There’s room for storing additional items below the two display rods.

Perfect little jewelry box
Color: Beige, Size: 2-Layer
My daughter loves this jewelry case. Her necklaces store nicely as it has a little pocket to secure the length of different pieces. She likes the modern color and style of the little hardware. Great quality for the price!
