Here and There

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Evelyn Daviddi. Ivan enjoys being at home with his mother (Here), but sometimes he has to go There (his father's new place). Dad, eventually recognizing his son’s discomfort, plays guitar to help Ivan think of this home, too, as Here. The boy's strong feelings come through in both words and cheerful illustrations. Ivan appears to be biracial, and from his parents' gentle smiles, they appear to be amicable co-parents.
