Families are different. This book brings home the message in a very powerful way.
Little Sophie comes to class crying. Her dad’s packed his suitcase and gone away. So, Mrs. Blythe gets the children to talk about their dads. Sophie realizes every dad is different.
In the wise words of her teacher, “That’s just the way it is.”
