The book is fairly text heavy, but for me the real story is wordless: it is told through Milo’s drawings. Milo reimagines all the stories he has created for the people he drew on the train, and realises all the different situations and lives those people might live. In addition, this is a thoughtful and sensitive representation of what it’s like to visit a parent in prison, and is an important book to share with mid to upper end primary aged children to open up a conversation about what prison is and the role it plays in society and within many families.

Milo’s drawings help him understand the world in ways that just talking may not, echoing the value of art therapy for children in processing difficult experiences, as well as reminding us of the value of drawing as expression for everyone.
