When Father Comes Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New York: Orchard Books, 2020.
PZ7.1.J8763 W44 2020<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From the Scholastic Canada website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

June’s father is like a goose \u2014 he flies away for long periods of time, which means that June doesn\u2019t get to see him very often. So June is extra happy when Father comes home, and happier still when the family does something extra special together to mark the occasion \u2014 they plant a tangerine tree, June\u2019s favorite fruit! \u201cNext time I am here, this tree will be bigger, and so will you,\u201d says Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caring for a growing sapling is a great responsibility and June takes it very seriously. When an accident happens and the tree topples over, June worries he may never see his father again. But things that have fallen can be replanted, and sometimes facing our biggest fears reveals our greatest strengths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
