(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carol Thompson. Molly's dad lives "a whole plane ride away" and has been out of the picture for a long time. Father and daughter get reacquainted when Dad comes to look after Molly for a week. The book sensitively examines the aftermath of parental separation. Readers will appreciate the accessibility of Molly's emotions in both text and scribbly childlike drawings.
