Publisher's Synopsis
Five-year-old Justin is ready for bed and his mom is preparing to read him his bedtime story. But tonight, Justin doesn't want his favorite bedtime tale. All he wants to do is talk and he has a very important question. He wonders why it's always mom who gets him ready for school and shines his shoes, who taught him to throw a ball and how to fish and he wonders why his dad is never around. He wonders where his dad is and why he doesn't show up at school like some of his friend's fathers. But mostly, he's worried that his mom might be unhappy and lonely because his dad isn't around.This sensitive, perfectly paced short story is ideal for single moms who will eventually face the difficult question when their child asks where dad is. It's Always You Mommy is thoughtful and subtle, giving children the answers they seek, while affording absent fathers some dignity, as well as providing some spiritual encouragement for the single mother too.
