Product Description
My daddy's going to work, far away in Africa -- without me. What does a little boy do when his daddy is going away for a long time? He promises to save one thing every day to show his daddy when he returns; to say, "Good night, Daddy" every night before he goes to sleep; and to mark off each day on the calendar until his daddy's return. If he still misses his daddy, then he remembers all the things his daddy promised to do, and he knows that even though they're very far apart, they're still close in each other's heart. With soft, tender illustrations and poetic text, this poignant and heartwarming story shows that the love between a father and child can span any distance.

Perfect for daddies in the military January 10, 2003
Sarah Green (Oceanside, CA USA)

My husband is in the military and I found this book when we found out he was going to Kuwait for six months. The message is beautiful and my husband and I cried together while reading it. Since my daughter is only 9 mos. old we wanted a way for her to think of her Dad every day. Each night we look at his photo and read this book. It's a special way for me to let her know that her daddy loves her and that he's coming home soon. This book is perfect for any family in a similar situation.
Absolutely Wonderful!! September 29, 2004

My husband is in the military and I bought this book for my 4 and 2 year old before he deployed. This book was an extreme comfort to my 4 yr. old. I read it to her when she had a hard time dealing with my husbands deployment. It became a nightly ritual while he was gone. If your spouse is in the military, this is a must. It really hits home with the feelings and it also talked about daddies feelings too. We used the idea of saving things to show daddy and my daughter loved it.
Extremely warm and sensitive February 3, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Incredibly sensitive and warm story of a father and his son as they deal with separation. I really liked the way the main character, the little boy, expressed his feelings about the separation from his father. It is a good book to read to your children if you travel. Also, it gives parents a good opportunity to discuss ways to deal with separation, again with your children. In addition to the superb writing, the illustrations in the book are tremendous.
Wonderful Father's Day story. This is for all fathers. March 20, 1999

This is the kind of thing that's going to be read on Father's Day for a long time. A sweet story of a boy and his father and how difficult their separation is when dad has to go on a trip. I loved it.
Eases a child's fear October 18, 2001

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My son and I read this book almost every night when his daddy was traveling for weeks at a time. It was a very difficult time. I think that my son could relate to the little boy in the story on how much he missed his daddy. When a young boy is away from his father for a long period of time, he begins to wonder if his daddy still loves him and misses him. This book helps to ease those fears and that it is all going to be "ok". We are giving this book to two little boys that are my son's friends who are losing their daddy for 8 months while he fights this "War on Terrorism" with the Army in Egypt. We think that maybe this book will help them to come up with their own rituals while their daddy is gone and maybe help to ease their fears.
