Dear Daddy

by Philippe Dupasquier

Published 1 January 1985
Sophie writes letters to her father, who is away at sea, working on a freighter. She tells him all about what is happening to the family: "Some men from the music shop brought back the old piano today. They have mended it. Mummy is very pleased." The seasons pass for Sophie while her father endures the humid weather of the Pacific: her snowman contrasts particularly well with the sampans passing behind him!
