lullabies for little criminals is a book that follows the life of a girl named Baby from her perspective. her dad is a heroin addict, often leaving baby by herself for days. Remember she is a very young girl with no mother. this is very early in the book. one day, her dad, Jules, decides to go and get some heroin. She makes the decision to follow him without his consent. She made this decision because she has been left by herself many times before, and she was simply curious of what goes on when he leaves. However when Jules finds out, he shuts the door and leaves her outside on the street. she now has to find her way home or learn the life of the streets. Her decision to follow him has introduced her to the street life, and his influence will ultimately lead her down a dark road of drugs. Looks like a very compelling plot so far.
