Publisher Notes
Michael's parents are divorced. Michael lives in Arizona with his mom. His dad lives in Delaware, seven states away as the crow flies. Sometimes when Michael's with his mother, he misses his dad, and when he's with his father, he misses his mom. Michael is sick of missing people. When Michael's dad comes to visit, the two of them stay in a motel and eat out in restaurants. Michael takes his father to school where they read books and make music together. And Michael learns things about his dad that he never knew before. Expressive illustrations accompany a sensitively written story about a young boy who comes to realize that distance does not diminish the special bond between father and son.
Media Reviews
"A poignant book that takes an upbeat approach to an inherently bad (from a child's perspective) situation."
Synopses
A second-grader describes how he feels when his father comes all the way from Delaware to Arizona to spend a week with him.
