"In this beautifully illustrated and straightforward story, Sam is a young boy whose mom meets the Addiction Monster. As the Monster gains a hold of her, Sam learns that it is addiction, not his mom, that is the problem, that it's not his fault, and that he will be okay--no matter what happens. The Tricky Sticky Addiction Monster is a must-have resource for therapists, social workers, foster parents, counsellors, teachers, and anyone spending time with a child who has experienced the consequences of addiction."--Back cover.
