Child & adolescent psychiatrist and author of the new psychological thriller "A Circle of Souls."
As seen on Amazon.com, 5.0 out of 5 stars
An important topic & an important read, Oct. 28, 2009
Rebecca is a young bear who misses her father and has to cope with his absence. It is very hard for her to understand why it is so. As a child psychiatrist, I often see how difficult it can be for any young child to separate from a parent for any amount of time, be it a few days to a few months. Given that there are so many troops out of their homes in service who are also parents I think that this book is a must read for them and their children. It gently touches upon this sensitive issue using soothing and comforting illustrations. This book can help ease the idea of being away for a long time to a child with the idea that there are others who will be present until the parent comes back. This is a great book for reading groups or therapy groups that deal with parents being away in the school setting or any other setting. He also has included resources and tips at the end of the book which is a great plus point.

Layers Of  Thought
"I highly recommend this book for use as “a teaching moment tool”. It would be wonderful to use for repeat readings helping a child understand this difficult and all too common transition."
A very important book – 4 Stars

Everything To Do With Books
"While this picture book is a really fun and entertaining read it is also an educational one that shows young children that it is quite normal for their parents to go away for work."

Merry Weather
"William Bentrim's newest book, Daddy Goes on a Trip helps little children or  mom and  dad deal with the absence of a family member when they leave to fulfill their military duties."

BookVisions
"I am so impressed with Mr. Bentrim’s books because he writes children’s books of genuine value to help both the parent and child deal with difficult situations."

Nina Vida
(Author of "Texicans"&"The End of Marriage")
"Daddy Goes on a Trip by William G. Bentrim, is a delightful little book written for children, but instructive for parents who in these times of military deployments need to remember to make their children feel missed, loved and special. A particularly fine message and
provocatively illustrated pages. "
