Synopsis

Synopsis

Greta loves spending time with her dad. She loves reading books with him, playing checkers in the park with him, and eating ice cream with him on Saturdays. But Greta's dad often has to travel far from home for work. He's an important photographer who takes pictures of astronauts, opera singers, and basketball players. Greta has her own adventures while her dad is away, but she misses him. When he finally returns home, Greta learns that taking pictures isn't the only important thing to her dad.

Here's a reassuring story about the special bond between fathers and daughters and the love that endures even when one of them has to be away from home.


From the Hardcover edition.
