From Booklist:

First published in 1976, this title quickly became the picture book of choice for helping children deal with separation anxiety. The repetition of the words "You go away. You come back" in various forms gives parents and caregivers a reassuring way to talk to toddlers about separation. Those six little words, repeated for reinforcement and illustrated to show familiar situations--parents going to work and returning, going on a trip--communicate better than paragraphs of parental explanation, perhaps because the simplicity of the text perfectly suits the target audience. Now reissued in a larger format with bright, clearly defined line-and-watercolor illustrations, this picture book will be a welcome addition (or replacement copy) for collections serving young children.
