For so many children who spend only a day or two each week with their Dads, this is a special story. It speaks to the anticipation, the events of the day, and the sadness of saying goodbye. It’s a tender small story with a reality that will ring true to those who live with this all too common situation. Keeping those connections alive and well is still the challenge. A good book for talking about the up and down feelings of such brief encounters. 4 & up.
