What a sweet story! A story about a father and son relationship. The story is quick so perfect for bedtime and the illustrations are lovely.

This book celebrating fathers would be a great gift for a new dad or for Fathers’ Day. The grandfather in the book isn’t present, but the text isn’t specific about why. I liked the multi-generational focus and the simple but detailed illustrations.

Thanks to Netgalley and Linguacious for a free digital copy.

A sweet book about a son's appreciation for his dad and what he would tell his absent grandfather he loves about his dad if he ever meets him. A touching story full of sweet father and son moments.

What a sweet story about a father’s love!

This is a sweet little book about a boy describing his father to the grandfather who isn’t around.

It’s touching, and a reminder that the experiences we come from don’t determine how we will be ourselves.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy for an honest review.

What a lovely, lovely book celebrating fathers! A young boy thinks about his grandfather, who he has never met, and wonders what he'd tell him about his father, who grandfather never met either. It's not specified exactly what happened to grandpa--the word "disappeared" is used in the story but no further detail is given, so it can be left open to interpretation.

The boy's description of his father is loving and very sweet. He obviously has a wonderful dad and is well-loved. The illustrations are soft and subdued, but detailed and fascinating to look at. This would make a great story for a classroom unit about families, as well as a great Father's Day or new dad gift!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

It's so simple yet so heartwarming. This is how children should feel about their Dads. And I'm thankful that I have a Dad that I can be proud of even though he isn't perfect like in the book. I think Dads also need to read this book with their kids!

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this lovely book!

This is a sweet story. The son wants to tell his grandpa (who he never met) all about his dad and how he would be proud of him. I loved the idea of this story. This is a great read for a child and adult to read when they are missing someone.
