Tarah missed her Dad and she asked her Mum where he had gone...

Tarah's dad has gone away, and she doesn't know where. She imagines he is doing all the things he loves, but when she asks her mum, everything changes. This heartfelt, honest and sensitively told story explores the challenges a child faces when a parent is incarcerated. My Dad's Gone Away sheds light on an unspoken issue and gently encourages children and families to talk about how they feel and what their future may look like. This age-appropriate story will help to encourage safe conversations around a difficult topic and promote empathy in children with different life experiences. My Dad's Gone Away is written through a child's perspective and is illustrated with care and complemented by soft warm tones. Paul Seden's evocative and timeless imagery underpin a powerful story and captures the heartache of dealing with missing a parent.
