PreS-Gr 1âThis quiet, gracefully crafted picture book features the unique bond between father and child that can be as soft as the snow and as warm as the shining sun. Told through a tender, rhyming narrative, animal fathers around the world are shown caring for their young. A red fox tends to his family, a seahorse dad keeps his babies safe in his pouch, while a father emu raises chicks. Warm pencil-and-ink artwork colored digitally in earth tones illustrates the unconditional love and protection provided by fathers from all over the map and the animal kingdom. The story ends with the reassuring message that no matter what, "A father's love is always there./A father's love isâ¦/â¦everywhere," and end pages that include facts about the included animal fathers and how they care for their young.
Copyright 2019 School Library Journal.VERDICT This gentle celebration of fathers will resonate with readers both young and old. It's a perfect choice for all picture book shelves, a lapsit story, or a gift for a new dad.Brianne Colombo, Fairfield Free Public Library, NJ
