Families need to keep in touch, especially if Dad is away working in icy Antarctica with penguins, seals and BIG vehicles.
Even if Dad isn't home for birthdays, school sports or to help with homework, he's in touch in other ways. Photos, wildlife maps, toys and e-mail help. And he e-mails home digital shots of Roo, doing funny things, on expeditions in Antarctica.
