From the Publisher
Phevos is traveling all by himself to meet his grandparents and cousins who live far away! He wakes up early each day, stuffing his suitcase with all it can hold and draws postcards when he feels a bit anxious to calm himself. Meanwhile, Grandpa Leander, Grandma Phoebe, Aunt Sophie, Uncle Mike, and twins Sam and Tina eagerly prepare for Phevos's arrival with creative and fun projects, building tree houses and more. What will happen when Phevos and his family members finally see each other?
Travel has never been so exciting in this heartwarming story of finding independence and strengthening family ties. Through a mix of colored pencil, collage, charcoal, and photographs, bold illustrations capture Phevos's anxiety, excitement, and self--confidence, and the joy of family union. Told in a dual--narrative, Comings and Goings will guide youngsters through the chaos and anticipation of Phevos and his family's new adventures.
