With so many children growing up with divorced parents who have joint custody, it’s surprising there aren’t more picture books like this one. After Tim moves to a new town with his mom, his dad takes the train to visit him for the day.

This book is about a young boy who's parents are separated. He spends the day with his dad, but at the end of the day he goes back home with his mother. There will be all kinds of families in a classroom. The class should be informed of all the different types of families. This book will talk about separated families.
One of the better picture books dealing with the concept of parents that are seperated. A nice father and son story. I love the ending and how Tim can't see the train but tracks are still there and one they soon those tracks will bring dad back! Aaaawh, :)
This is a good book about divorce. It is a simple and straight forward story about a son and father spending a day together. It is not entertaining but has a purpose. Ages 3+
"dads, split families, father and son, visiting, positive point of view, relaxing/calming illustrations"
Summary:
Tim not only enjoys spending the day doing fun things with his dad, but he proudly shows Dad off to everyone he meets.

Cute story but the pictures are kind of depressing.
Incredibly touching. Great book for children who may be in a similar situation.
