Abstract: This paper is based on a trauma-informed family literacy program implemented in a residential treatment facility for fathers with substance-use disorders, with many of their population experiencing homelessness. Informed by a critical approach to family literacy that recognizes the social, cultural, and historical perspectives of families' experiences, we believe that it is important to consider ways that family literacy programs, particularly informed by critical perspectives, can create inclusive programs for those who are often marginalized. In this article, we used qualitative research, specifically narrative methods, to depict two fathers' experiences in the program. The fathers' narratives provide insights as to how a family literacy program can incorporate discussions around children's literature to create spaces where fathers can reflect on their relationships with their children and their experiences as parents.
