Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the physical or emotional distance of a loved one, especially during a military deployment. It beautifully addresses the confusing feeling of how someone so important can seem to 'disappear' or become 'small' when they are far away. Through a gentle lesson on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, Janie learns that distance is just a secret of the world and not a reflection of love. Set during World War II, this story captures the quiet patience of waiting and the power of perspective. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are experiencing a long separation from a parent. Jane Yolen provides a comforting framework for parents to discuss big transitions, making the abstract concept of distance feel manageable and hopeful.
