Summary: This book beautifully portrays the relationship between a
father and child. The book has a picture that matches everything the father and
son are doing together. As they are playing, working in the yard, riding bikes
and reading before bedtime, they are bonding and enjoying spending time
together.
In the classroom, it’s important to show diversity and this book does that by using
the different names for fathers that are used in different cultures such as ‘pop’,
‘mi papa’ and ‘pa’.
