Boats for Papa by Jessixa Bagley.


Boats for Papa by Jessixa Bagley. Roaring Brook Press 2015. 

Papa's absence isn't explained, but both Buckley and his mother miss him, and talk about him daily. 

Buckley makes boats, which he sends out to sea for Papa, and his mother collects them, so Buckley can believe that they reach his father. 

Simple and gentle look at keeping memories alive.
