| Sophie and her Dad must wait until summer to see each other, but writing letters that relate ordinary events makes them feel like they are close by. Sophie's dad wants to know everything that happens. Changes in season, her new coat, bumps, sratches-all are newsworthy. Knowing what is going on is second only to being there. | |||||||||

| Philippe Dupasquier Philippe Dupasquier says, “Most of the ideas for the book came from things that happened in my family and from things I saw around me in England.” When he moved from France to London, he thought about his family in France and wondered what they were doing. “ ‘Dear Daddy...’ came from that,” he says. “ If you're away from someone you care about, thinking of what they are doing makes you fell less alone.” |
