Hurry Home Dad!

Jesse and Blake, who are identical twins, are feeling anxious as Dad leaves for his job away in the mines. The twins always communicate together using their funny twin language, which only they understand. When they feel insecure or anxious, they hold hands to comfort each other. Dad decides to film his days at work in the mine to reassure them he is safe while working. Through their dad’s videos, the haul trucks Declan and Dakota come to life in a magical adventure with Ely the excavator. They start work together in an actual day of mining on-site when Wazza the Willy Wily, who is always playing pranks, creates a dust storm and causes all sorts of problems for Ely, Dakota, Declan, and the Mine Controller to solve. Willow the Water Truck saves the day! This first book in the series “My Mum and Dad are FIFO Parents” will truly help other children in families feel emotionally safe and secure through a mixture of fantasy and reality on a day of their Mum and Dads FIFO life.
