When Dad Travels for Work

WHEN DAD TRAVELS FOR WORK helps kids understand why parents sometimes need to leave their loved ones when they travel for work. The story explains why parents work, what they do while they are gone, and how important their children are to them even when they’re away.

For many parents, their job requires them to work outside the home. Sometimes, it even involves flying thousands of miles away. Often, they are gone for several days. When Dad Travels for Work by Kristopher James Goeden explains why parents work, what they do while they are gone, and how important their children are to them even when they're away.

Parents must work to provide for their families: food, shelter, clothing, and more. While they are away, kids typically help out at home. The young boy in this picture book helped with everyday chores without complaint. He wheeled the trash bins to the road, mowed the grass, and made his bed. He did it with a smile on his face!

This charming story alerts children that a father misses his family dearly when he's gone. Even though his body may be hundreds or thousands of miles away, his thoughts are with his family every second of every day.

When Dad Travels for Work shows a father's love for his family and how this particular dad travels so he can provide for them. It shows the joy this loving family experiences when they are reunited. SWEET!

A parent's need to travel for work can be challenging for little kids to adjust to. They may not understand why their parent must leave them. I encourage you to share this charming story with 2 to 8-year-olds who need help understanding a parent's need to travel for work. It will also help a child realize their parent is missing them as much as they are missing their parent.

Remember to check out the illustrated maze before the title page or at the back of the book. It's a fun mini game that children would adore navigating. Encourage them to start at "home" and travel down the winding roads to reach each destination on the map. Just watch out for motor vehicles!
