| Description: |
From the author of "Teachers' Night Before Christmas" and the award-winning "This Side of Paradise" comes a book of heartfelt poems honoring dads. 21 color illustrations. |
| Synopsis: |
Written from a child's viewpoint, the lighthearted poems at the beginning contrast with the poems found later in the book as they begin to address the conflicts children encounter while growing older. Layne addresses the struggle for independence in the poems 'Thinking About It Now' and 'The Inquisition', in which he shows how children come to realise that dads give advice and question their children's actions out of love. In the poem 'Remember', he also reveals how dads are needed for support when children are affected by death for the first time. Steven L Layne and Gail Greaves Klinger create a seamless blend of verse and illustration that is both accomplished and inspirational, addressing important social issues through language and drawings. The pictures of diverse families cross the boundaries of race to show that in every family there is a dad to appreciate. These verses and illustrations work together beautifully to honour the heroes closest to home -- our dads. |
