My Daddy's Going Away by Christopher MacGregor

"My Daddy's going away, you know,
He says it's for a while.
We'll miss our hugs and storytime,
We'll miss his funny smile."

When Daddy goes away, everyone feels sad and wishes he were back home with his family.

But love is a very powerful thing, and there are all kinds of ways to try to feel better. As they count down the days on a calendar, the special day when Daddy is coming home gets nearer and nearer . . .

This comforting and inspiring story, drawn from the author's own experiences of being away from home, help children understand and find ways to cope when their daddy goes away.
