"Hello, Tatay!" are words that keep cropping up in a little boy's life at home while his seafarer father is away at sea. This is one of ten seafarer children's stories that won the 2nd Gig Book Storywriting Contest and is published as part of the Gig Seafarer Children's Stories series. When you read and share this book, you join an ever-expanding circle that gathers round people and things that warm the cockles of our hearts: our children, books and reading, and the strength and resilience of families—-especially where the father is mostly away at sea.
