The little boy's daddy is going away to work in Africa for a long month, and the little boy is very sad and lonely at the thought. His mum and baby sister will stay home, but he is going to miss his daddy dreadfully. In lyrical, poetic terms, father and son promise to think of each other daily, and the little boy is helped to accept the separation by finding something each day to show his father on return and by saying goodnight before he falls asleep. The misty, quite beautiful water colour paintings help make this a poignant and lovely story.
