About the Author
Christopher MacGregor (Author) When Army Officer Christopher MacGregor returned from Iraq in 2007, he began writing to help not only his own two children, but the children of others. Having commanded over 100 soldiers (with over 50 children between them) he noticed the beneficial effect of saying proper goodbyes and preparing families for Daddy's absence - his first book, My Daddy's Going Away is the heartwarming, helpful, and comforting response. Emma Yarlett (Illustrator) Emma Yarlett likes to paint, draw, collage, design, write, doodle, construct, invent, splatter and sketch. In 2011 she graduated with first class honours in Illustration from University College Falmouth and began her career as a illustrator and author.
From the Back Cover
"My Daddy's going away, you know,
He says it's for a while.
We'll miss our hugs and storytime,
We'll miss his funny smile."
When Daddy goes away, everyone feels sad and wishes he were back home with his family.
But love is a very powerful thing, and there are all kinds of ways to try to feel better. As they count down the days on a calendar, the special day when Daddy is coming home gets nearer and nearer...
This comforting and inspiring story, drawn from the author's own experiences of being away from home, helps children understand and find ways to cope when their daddy goes away.
