This reissue of Charlotte Zolotow's classic, originally published in 1980, is back with beautiful new illustrations by Stefano Vitale. The author and illustrator team of Sleepy Book and the highly acclaimed When the Wind Stops once again deliver a thoughtful and poignant masterpiece. This book is a tender and sensitive story which will reassure young readers about loss. The lyrical prose makes this a wonderful story to read aloud. In this tale, a young girl ask her mother how she can know if her father, who has been gone a long time, still loves her. 'If I can't see him, or hear him, or feel his hugs, how can I know he loves me when he isn't here?' Her mother tells her to listen inside herself and she will feel his love. This book is a timeless story which embraces life and love.
