For ages 5-10... Daddy's Gone steps into the shoes of a young boy whose Dad has died recently. It validates his feelings of loss and offers a slice of hope, rather than a platter of platitudes. Brief and to the point, Daddy's Gone reaches out to children who experience such a loss and lets them know their feelings are normal. It also reaches out to adults, offering a perspective they may overlook. Daddy's Gone is very touching and above all, it validates the feelings of children experiencing loss. Ms. Richmond has masterfully addressed those real feelings. - William I. Dorfman, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University Fort Lauderdale, Florida Millie Richmond does something wonderful with her children's book, Daddy's Gone. She writes as a child who is responding to consoling adults. What makes Daddy's Gone unique is that, along with addressing the death of Daddy, the young child realizes Daddy will forever be in his heart (or the hearts of his family). The responses of the child in Daddy's Gone will help other children express their feelings after the death of a parent. - Janet Sieff Executive Director Centering Corporation and Grief Digest Omaha, Nebraska
