Miranda's poppa has to go on a business trip to England. She is sad and mad that she can't go, too, but she's more afraid that Poppa will forget her--the way she looks, the way she sounds. He won't be gone long enough to receive a letter, so Momma makes a suggestion as to how Miranda can be sure that Poppa can't forget her. There the text ends and Ohi's wonderful artwork tells the remainder of the story. Both Miranda and Poppa find a special way to tell each other that they're loved and missed while they're apart.

This is a good read-together book that aptly reflects a child's fear of separation and solution.
