Why is Baby Joe Crying, Papa?

Sadie and Papa are spending the day together taking care of Baby Joe. Their time is spent not only looking after Baby Joe, but also thinking together. Through their easy and loving connection, Sadie and Papa explore the importance of crying; their time together offers us, the readers, a window into a thoughtful relationship that promotes a message that little children may remember as they navigate their own emotional development over a lifetime.
