Summary
Ida is heartbroken when Papa has to leave Jamaica to work in America, but she knows that he needs her to care for the tangerine tree in their yard, and he promises to return before it blooms again.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Jamaican-born Regina Hanson drew on her own childhood experiences for this simple, realistic story, brought to glowing life in Harvey Stevenson's tender, light-filled paintings. When Ida finds out that Papa must leave Jamaica to work in America, she's heartbroken. But there is some consolation in knowing that Papa needs her to care of the tangerine tree while he's away, and his parting gift of a book comes with a promise: he'll be home again by the time she's able to read it.
