Rawry's Daddy is Underway - Paperback

by Sarah Russi (Author)

Deep down in the ocean, where big blue waves sway,

Rawry's brave Daddy sails far, far away.

He rides in a submarine, quiet and grand,

Protecting the sea while his boy's on the land.

​When Daddy goes under the waves for a while,

It can be kind of tricky for Rawry to smile.

His belly feels bumpy, his heart feels so blue,

He misses his Daddy-and that's okay, too!

​Mommy says, "Rawry, it's fine if you're sad,

Or lonely, or messy, or confused, or mad.

Feelings are visitors coming to stay,

They hang out a bit, and then float away."

They read stories at bedtime and hug stuffed toys tight,

Remembering Daddy is safe in the night.

​Though a month-or much longer-is hard to remember,

Rawry has to navigate his emotions with patience and tender.

His Daddy's a hero, it's true as can be,

Exploring the depths of the shadowy sea.
