Comment:
This vibrantly illustrated book captures some of the friction in the father-son relationship as well as the great love between them. The father is depicted positively throughout, and is active in all aspects of everyday domestic and family life: household chores, tying child’s shoelace, driving child to playground, as well as fully engaging in play. The book is an important depiction of a father fully invested in all aspects of family life and a positive father-son relationship.
