I Miss You Every Day by Simms Taback
4.0
This is a sweet picture book about missing someone so badly that you want to package yourself up and be mailed to their doorstep.
Simms Taback's text is pretty basic, but his detailed illustrations are the real gems here. There are notes, signs, and letters all over the place, each with their own stories. (I recommend that you take your time with each page, or reread it later to catch all the mini-scenes and "extra" writing.)
The "you" that the little girl is missing is vague enough to relate to a lot of life situations. Maybe your reader is missing a relative who is separated, incarcerated, or living away from home. Maybe your reader has a friend they love who lives far away. Reading this story can be a way to lead naturally into activities or conversations about feelings, writing a letter or email to someone you miss, talking about moving and living situations, etc.
