Customer Reviews
Lovely
A beautiful poem, and the pictures capture the universal love between fathers and sons.
Heartwarming and inclusive
I found this book quite heartwarming in its depiction of the father-son / father-figure and son bond, and the simple pleasures in life. Greatly appreciate how inclusive and diverse it was in terms of race, physical ability, religious belief and occupation, we see the father’s care and love that is constant. Bonus is a glimpse into the author’s domestic life with her husband, son, baby daughter, rescue dogs and rescue chickens.
Lost to both families
Would rather watch paint dry then support these people who have isolated themselves from both families and extended families.
