From the award-winning creators of The Hare-Shaped Hole .
In the woods there lives a fox family. One of the cubs, Vixie, has a close relationship with her dad, Rey. He makes her feel safe and he's always there for her when she feels lonely, worried or sad.One day, Rey tells the family that he has to go away for a little while and Vixie worries. She can't bear to be apart from her dad!
But Rey reassures her that he'll be back before she knows it and gifts her a kingfisher feather as a reminder of love. He promises that as soon as he can, he'll be back home.
So Vixie is brave and carries on without her dad. And when she misses him lots, she looks at her feather and feels connected to Rey, even though he's far away.And sooner than she knows it, her daddy comes back! And Vixie knows that missing her dad's not unbearable, never. For she understands truly, it won't be forever.
A sensitive and comforting exploration of separation anxiety from the award-winning creators of The Hare-Shaped Hole.
John Dougherty has been writing children’s books for over twenty years. His work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, including the surreal Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series, and the hilariously zany There’s a Pig Up My Nose . His beautiful, poignant picture book The Hare-Shaped Hole has won multiple awards.
John was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. He studied psychology at university and then tried his hand at a number of jobs including YMCA hostel worker, factory machine operator, and unsuccessful singer-songwriter, before becoming a primary school teacher. John is a passionate advocate for both public libraries and the importance of reading for pleasure. He was one of the first Patrons of Reading in the UK.
