A simple pattern of separation and return

You Go Away builds its picture-book story around a reassuring refrain: someone leaves, then comes back. The repeated pattern gives brief separations and reunions a clear place in the book, while Lisa Fox’s new illustrations portray a diverse group of parents and children. Adapted as a sturdy board book, this edition presents Dorothy Corey’s story for very young children navigating time apart from people they love.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for babies and toddlers sharing a board book with a caregiver.

Book overview

It's hard for young children to be apart from ones they love. First published in 1976, Dorothy Corey's classic picture book You Go Away has helped reassure generations of children with its simple story pattern: You go away... and you come back. I go away--and I come back. Now You Go Away has been adapted as a board book, a sturdy format with brand new art. Lisa Fox's gentle illustrations show a diverse cast of parents and children as they experience a variety of brief separations and happy reunions.
