I might have to visit a very sick friend, or rescue a sinking canoe, but I will always, always, always come back to you! What happens when someone you love heads out the door? A mother goes out to deliver letters around the world, and her daughter stays behind. Mom might have to cross mountains, fight bears, or scare away pirates before she comes back. Her daughter might have to wait with Gramma or a friend at home. But whether their time apart has been long or short, boring or exciting, the family will soon be together again.
Perfect for children struggling with separation anxiety, this book reminds young readers that distance cannot diminish love. Reassuring rhyme and amusing illustrations create a story to cherish when loved ones have gone away--and when they've come back at last.
