For the goodbyes, the questions, and everything in between.
A children’s book written from a FIFO familys’ lived experience to help kids understand why a parent works away.
Being a FIFO family isn’t always easy.
FIFO & Me was written to help kids make sense of why a parent works away, and to gently support them through the goodbyes that come with it.
It’s a simple, rhyming story created to bring comfort, connection, and understanding into everyday family moments.
From one FIFO family to yours
The hardest part wasn’t the goodbyes.
It was finding the right words once he’d left for work.
The questions kept coming.
Where is Daddy?
Does Daddy live at the airport?
When is Daddy coming home?
I wanted something they could hold, come back to, and understand in their own time, especially when those questions felt big.
That’s where FIFO & Me came in.
FIFO & Me is for the families living the juggle.
For the kids who don’t understand why Mum or Dad keeps leaving.
For the parents trying to hold it all together at home.
It’s the link between home and site.
A way to make those hard goodbyes feel just a little easier.
It helps children understand why a parent works away, using language that feels safe, familiar, and age appropriate.
For parents, it offers an easier way to answer the same questions that come up at bedtime, at school drop-off, and during those tough goodbye moments.
FIFO & Me is about helping kids feel safe and supported within their FIFO family life.
