The number of children with incarcerated parents has grown in recent years. Many of these children are being raised by another family member or are part of the foster care system. This adverse childhood experience can affect the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development of children. To support them through this life experience, teachers, counselors, and social workers can use bibliotherapy. Coupling bibliotherapy with a framework from which to examine the lives of protagonists in literature can be a powerful problem-solving mechanism for children of incarcerated parents. The authors of this piece present how the 7C's of Resilience are portrayed in chapter books about children with incarcerated parents. A case for using the 7C's as discussion points during read-alouds and literature circles is presented.
