Book Description

June 29, 2011
Michael Allen originally wrote this charming little book for his daughter. It was his way of showing her that he would always be in her life, despite the breakup the family was going through. It was a project that he was originally able to do with a few sheets of paper. He wrote the message complete with his own drawings and read it to her one day after picking her up from her mother's.

Mikayla absolutely loved the little book her father had made for her and they read it together many times over the years. But, she has grown and the small time they spend apart isn't as lonely anymore. So, Michael returned to the book to make it available for everyone who has experienced being separated from their child for whatever reason.

When You Miss Me is a great way for a parent to connect with their child during those lonely moments when you find yourselves apart. His heartwarming suggestions are the very ones that his daughter and he used. Both you and your child can learn how to magically turn those times you spend apart into times you spend together. There is a special gift Michael has included for everyone in the last pages of each book.

About the Author

Michael Allen is a single father and his love for his daughter has been proven many times over the years. Living in a small town in Western Maryland until 2008, Michael Allen's life was set. His daughter lived down the street with her mother, so close he could walk. They had separated and finally divorced in 2002.

But, his ex-wife had plans to move their daughter to Florida, a thousand miles away. He didn't even hesitate. Four days after watching his daughter leave town, Michael Allen was on a plane with four bags ready to start his life over in a strange new place he knew nothing about at all.

That's the kind of love and devotion to his daughter that you will find in When You Miss Me. His original message was to her. But, he knows how necessary it is for other parents to be able to deliver the same powerful message to their children. Turn the times you spend apart into times you spend together! It's a magical trick he taught his daughter, everyone can use.

More About the Author

Michael Allen is the author of Thoughts and Reconsideration, A Danger to Society and When You Miss Me. His works show his wide range of writing from a novel to a children's book, and now a journey in poetry. He makes readers laugh and he makes them think, which is all he ever wanted to do since he picked up his first pen at the age of six. His articles polish his thoughts as he's working through a manuscript so he practically invites interaction from his readers as he explores what he has affectionately termed the "Deeper Downs." His latest work Thoughts and Reconsideration showcases such favorites as "In Memory of An Angel," "I'm the Only," and "My Broken Piano" along with other poems never previously published.

I purchased this book as I recently became divorced and one of my daughters went to live with her dad. I gave this to her as a parting gift and its a wonderful reminder of how our relationship has become not distant but stronger because of it.

The little messages are lovely reminders of how much we love each other and although we do not see each other every day, this is something she can pick up if she is missing me,to remember that although we are apart she is always in my heart. The little suggestions in the book have been carried out many times for us and I am sure we will do them many times in the future.

I want to thank this author for writing such a lovely book and for reminding my daughter that although we are not always together in body we are in spirit.

This is wonderfully written and illustrated and will warm the heart of any reader. Every divorced/separated or absent parent should buy this book. Your child will love it and so will you!

Typically, I write reviews on adult novels in the horror genre, so bear with me as I try something different. I was given this book as a gift for my kids and I looked through it myself. I was touched by the sweet message it passes along to those who are separated from their children and children who are separated from their parents. It speaks of the simple things a child can do to remember their parent and keep them close to their heart even if they are gone for an extended period of time.

This book is not complex or overly thought out. Instead, it is a simple way for children to think of ways to keep their connections to a missed love one strong. The author follows up the brief tale with a few suggestions on projects a child can do to actively continue to connect with the person they miss.

Sometimes, the simple messages are the best ones, and this book provides a simple, sweet message for anyone that is dealing with separation.
