When the big blue suitcase appears by the door, a little boy's tummy feels funny.
Why does Daddy have to go? And how do you hold on to someone who isn't there?
Why Does Daddy Travel? is a gentle, honest picture book for young children whose parents travel for work. Through warm, cinematic illustrations and spare, simple text, the story follows one boy and his Mumma as they navigate the days of waiting, waving at the same moon, and holding on until the door opens again.
Because Daddy always comes home. And the house always smells like him again.
Perfect for children aged 2-5, and for every parent who has ever kissed a sleeping face goodbye before an early flight. A book about missing someone, waiting with hope, and the small rituals that hold a family together across the miles.
