This book was about a single parent explaining to their child where there father is. I liked how the mom was honest as she answered all her sons questions. I noticed that the son didn't ask all the questions he had all at once. He would ask some questions and then the next day he would ask more. The mom had a lot of patience and she didn't try to discourage him from asking questions. The back of the book had a section for single parents and how to help their child understand the why's and how's and where's.
