I'll come home to you!,
This review is from: Home to Me, Home to You (Hardcover)
Kids with traveling parents will connect with this sweet story that chronicles a day in the life of a mother and child who are looking forward to reuniting at the end of the day.
As someone who has been the traveling parent and the at home parent, I can say that Home to Me, Home to You perfectly captures the emotions of the working parent and the child at home. A wonderfully-reassuring book that shows children that they are loved-no matter how far away work takes mom and dad. See my reviews books at YA Books Central

Lovely and reassuring,
By book lover (Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home to Me, Home to You (Hardcover)
This book masterfully portrays the love and longing shared by a young child and her busy mother, who is away on a business trip. Ashley Wolffs' glowing paintings capture every nuance of the characters' linked emotions, while also portraying their parallel activities:
while at her playgroup, daughter builds a miniature city of blocks, while mom flies over a real city "the size of her toys"; home with her dad, daughter works on party invitations, while mom catches up with work on her laptop; child takes a nap in her cozy bed while weary mom naps on the plane. This creative and sensitive approach to an often stressful situation will be appreciated by many children and their travelling parents. |
