Children at a tender age are prone to missing their parents, especially when their parents are away for work. The emotion grows from loneliness to anger and a loss of interest in hobbies such as building blocks. In the book When We Are Apart, Becca Johnsey seeks to remind children of the signs of love that Daddy and Mommy have shown them in the past and to, therefore, be assured that the love continues even when the parent is not at home.

Written by Becca Johnsey and illustrated by Marizan, When We Are Apart is a children's book that seeks to serve as a token of love and substance of relief passed from parents to their children. Specifically, it helps tell a child that Daddy is not too far from home and that he's eager to come home as soon as possible, even if he's gone far to work.

The book has been deliberately written with simple word choices and enough graphical representation of what the thought in each sentence means. I believe the book would surely achieve the goal for which it is written. First, children are reminded of how their loving father would go to any length to play with them, dressing themselves to appear funny, somewhat scary, or to induce an engaging and ecstatic emotion on the child's faces.

There is nothing to dislike in this book. I love the gentle tone that oozes out from the author's writing style, and the arrangement of thoughts is functionally woven. I admire the way in which parents are portrayed as affectionate and compassionate individuals whom children can seek comfort from during times of emotional distress, providing them with a sense of calm and security.

I will be giving the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It is exceptionally well-edited, as I couldn't find a grammar error. The colorful pictures are sure to capture the attention of children and make them fall in love with the book at first sight. The book would be best suited to be explained and/or read to children between the ages of two and five who still miss daddy or mommy when away at work.

Children are always attached to mom and dad, and when they are away, it started them to miss their parents.

To children, flipping the page would give them enjoyable and thrilling moments since there are pictures that appear playful are there. I also believe that children needs to be assured that parents love them above any other things.

I appreciate the author and illustrator of this book for this book. Children won't want to leave their parents, so I hope reading a book like this would encourage them.

'When We Are Apart' by Becca Johnsey sounds like a tender and comforting children's book that acknowledges the emotions kids might feel when their parents are away. The message of love and reassurance seems to make it a valuable read for families experiencing separation.
