Away
Emil Sher
Skip is preparing to leave for sleep-away camp but does not want to go. In the busy days before departure, she and her mother communicate through sticky notes. Skip resists the trip while still packing and preparing, and her mother responds with steady reassurance. Their notes reveal everyday details of their lives, including homework, laundry, bug spray, and concern for their cat. As the separation approaches, Skip’s mother shares her own memories of camp and helps calm Skip’s fears.
