I didn't know my father, and this is the story I wish I was told when I was a child...
This book is for moms, who wish to nurture and protect the emotional growth and strength of their children. Every child has an internal relationship with their father, regardless of whether he is present or not. When this relationship is nurtured positively, a child develops a stronger sense of self-acceptance, self-reliance, and self-worth. Believe me, I have never met my dad. The book is the result of twenty years searching for the ultimate answer to the question "Where is Daddy?" to ease the disappointment, abandonment, and guilt many children feel when the father leaves them or not around.The book was written and illustrated with the help of a world-renowned therapist.
We don't recommend this book if you can't separate your own feelings from what is ultimately best for a child to hear about their absent father.
