Inquisitive daughter, whom I'm happy to teach. But I don't want to waste time with explanations she won't understand.

I don't have a book per se but my spouse travels quite frequently and i think my son 'got it' around 3, that daddy was going away but that he'd be back etc and that he was going to BE in a different place etc.... at 4 he really enjoyed telling other people where daddy was and showing them on the globe or map at school {caveat - he is a montessori kid so they do that stuff at that age} the globe was quite helpful as it gave him a tangible place for dad to be...
