"Why, Daddy, Why?" is the story of a little girl who has an adoring daddy and her memories of special moments with him.

The last two figures in the book transform from color to black and white suggesting the magical awareness fo childhood, but also the inevitable dark reality that eventually overcomes such innocence.
