Description: "A boy remembers a special camping trip he shared with his father, who is now away at war"--
Review Quotes: "A touching and atmospheric picture book."--Wall Street Journal
★ "By turns verbose and spare, the late Jackson's text works well with Floca's illustrations, which are rendered in a soft palette to showcase the natural world's elegant beauty. . . A powerful celebration of the parent-child bond and the moments that make an impact."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ★ "The story transcends its setting and, in some sense, it speaks for all children missing a parent who was called away for military service. A heartfelt, timeless picture book."--Booklist, Starred Review ★ "The effective interplay of text and art makes this slender tale of reminiscence unforgettable."--The Horn Book, Starred Review "Closely observed writing brings sensations to life."--Publisher's Weekly "The story is relevant in describing the emotions of a child missing someone any time, for any conflict. . . A perfect text to use for personal narrative units."--School Library Journal
