Synopsis
You go away...and you come back. I go away—and I come back. The repetition and pattern in this book will reassure and comfort youngsters, all the while reinforcing the idea that while parents go away, they also come back.
School Library Journal
PreS—This short concept book hammers home the message that a child's loved ones will inevitably return. "You go away…and you come back." This point is reiterated over several paired scenes. In each one, frowning youngsters are shown as someone prepares to leave. Next, the same characters are smiling as they are all reunited. This title was originally published in 1976 with different artwork. This version features a diverse cast, depicted in a flat, simple style. An additional title for large collections or where the original is in need of replacement.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
