"Mommy, Where’s My Daddy?” by Tracy L. Gray
When young SeQuoya Leigh begins asking heartfelt questions about her father, her mother gently guides her through a world of imagination, honesty, and love. With warmth and whimsy, SeQuoya tries to make sense of her father’s absence, wondering if he’s feeding squirrels, collecting tree sap, or melting snow with sunshine. As she explores her feelings, surrounded by family and community, SeQuoya discovers that love can reach across distance and time.
This tender and beautifully illustrated story is a gentle conversation-starter for children navigating parental absence, wrapped in hope, laughter, and deep familial love.
Includes an inspiring real-life epilogue about reunion, healing, and the unbreakable bond between father and daughter.
