Boats for Papa by Jessixa Bagley

5.0

Age: Preschool-3rd grade
Family: Mother and son
Tough Issues: Death of father

This is such a beautiful, well written story. Accompanied by soft illustrations we follow Buckley as he sends out miniature boats to papa whom he misses very much. When they don't come back, Buckley is certain his papa has received them. The twist in the story will bring you close to tears as we see the tenderness that the mother holds for her son.
