You Go Away - Board Book

Plot Summary

It's hard for young children to be apart from ones they love.  First published in 1976, Dorothy Corey's classic picture book You Go Away has helped reassure generations of children with its simple story pattern: "You go away... and you come back.  I go away - and I come back."  Now You Go Away has been adapted as a board book, a sturdy format with brand-new art.  Lisa Fox's gentle illustrations show a diverse cast of parents and children as they experience a variety of brief separations and happy reunions.
