From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Sharon Dennis Wyeth. In Wyeth's story, a young girl, who doesn't see her father very often after her parents' divorce, frequently thinks about him and treasures the time that they spend together. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton attends a Family Day Picnic and shares his own experiences about growing up in a single-parent family, and a young boy tells how the Big Brother Big Sister program has paired him with a special friend.

The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
