When Daddy Goes to Sea
By Ocean Atwood
When Daddy zips up his coat and heads out to sea, a little one stays behind with memories, hope, and love tucked close to his heart as he waits for his daddy to return.
Set in the southern tip of coastal Nova Scotia, When Daddy Goes to Sea is a tender, rhyming story that captures the rhythm of family life shaped by the sea.
From packing bags and hugs at the wharf, to baking cookies and counting down days, this tale honors the strength of fishing families and the joy of reunion after time apart.
Perfect for ages 2-8, this story celebrates connection, community, and the cherished traditions of the Maritimes and lobster districts.
Whether your family lives by the sea or simply loves stories of adventure and homecoming, When Daddy Goes to Sea is a heartfelt keepsake you’ll want to read again and again.
