Daddy leaves before I wake up.
A little boy reveres his truck-driving dad. A little boy tells the story of what his dad does during his long day of driving a truck. Startlingly vivid graphic images of a big rig rendered in vibrant colors and compelling compositions make life on the road seem exotic and beautiful even as the story brings the father and son together at the end of the day.
