Why read it?
1 author picked Knock Knock as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is probably the most authentic, emotional, powerful picture book story about a boy whose dad is incarcerated.
It touches on a subject not often told, the legacy of the cradle to prison pipeline and how one father fights against that for his son. I dare you not to cry when you read it. Or better yet, listen to the author perform it.
From Nora's list on stories for and about children of incarcerated parents.
