The first children's book about abandonment with a father and son as the central characters, this book shows the confusion and agony of a little boy whose mother has disappeared. It also shows how his father recognises that the boy's actions demonstrate his fear and sorrow. Intended for children who never or seldom see their parents, and for the adults in these children's lives, the custodial parents, the foster and adoptive parents, the grandparents and legal guardians. Helps adults to recognise and address the fear of abandonment when they respond to children's questions and behaviour.
