Description
Zoe's dad isn't home. She still sees him in photographs, laughing and playing tennis, but for now she can only visit him in a building where everyone looks sad and the walls are an ugly pink color. Some days Zoe's dad is too sad to see her, but she goes to the hospital anyway. While waiting, she meets Sabina who invites her to swim across the world. With imagination and hope, they explore many times that summer, until eventually Zoe's dad is ready to come home. This poignant story tackles a difficult subject with great tenderness, validating a child's experience of a parent suffering from depression. The book fills an important gap in literature for young children, offering a tender child's-eye understanding of the world.
