Description
Meet Eddie: a perceptive, animated,
big-blue-eyed little boy whose Dad doesn't realize the impact his business
traveling has on his son. From the moment The Black Suitcase appears, both
father and son learn the importance of staying connected, even when they have
to be apart. Along the way, Eddie learns about responsibility—and geography—while Dad grows to understand the values of communication.
Advance Praise
"A wonderful story that both adults and kids can learn from and enjoy! The tips on how to stay connected when apart are very well thought out and particularly timely to the needs of today's world!" —Diane Bylo
"I absolutely loved this book ... What made me love this book more than anything else, is that the author did such an amazing job of representing the thinking of a young child ... I was particularly impressed with the lessons in this book about patience, love, understanding and compassion. I highly recommend it." —Ionia Martin
"As I started this book, it looked like it was for the younger reader. However, as I kept reading, the words were harder and the sentences longer. Being apart from your parents at a young age is very sad. You miss them and think it is unfair that your parent is away from you. The book brings a great message to kids about this subject." —4/5 stars
"The book is a sweet story explaining to a child while some parents have to leave on business trips (and why some leave when other Dad's don't!) The illustrations are phenomenal and it is a great lesson for a kid whose parents may travel or maybe who has a friend whose parents travel." —Katie Wanta
