From Wikipedia: Charlotte Zolotow (born Charlotte Gertrude Shapiro June 26, 1915 – November 19, 2013) was an American writer, poet, editor, and publisher of many books for children. She wrote about 70 picture book texts. Zolotow's work was published by more than 20 different houses. She was an editor, and later publisher, at Harper & Row, which was called Harper & Brothers when she began to work there and is now known as HarperCollins. The poem "Missing You" from River Winding appears in Best Friends, a collection of poems, and "People" from All That Sunlight appears in the collection More Surprises (both of these anthologies bear the emblem, "A Charlotte Zolotow Book"). She contributed a story (called Enemies, illustrated by Ben Shecter) to The Big Book for Peace where she appears alongside other well-known authors and illustrators including Lloyd Alexander, Steven Kellogg and Trina Schart Hyman.

From the dust jacket description: The little girl missed her father. He has been gone a long time. “How do you know if someone far away is loving you?” she asks. “You have to stop when you’re lonely and listen,” her mother tells her. ”Listen the way you do when you can’t see the church steeple, but suddenly the sound of bells comes through the air to you.” Through this understanding mother, Charlotte Zolotow offers a unique and beautiful way to hold close the love of one we miss. In stunning full color, the tender and sensuous illustrations by Marc Simont perfectly reflect her insight.
