From Christian Robinson, #1 New York Times bestseller, Caldecott Honoree, and one of the most recognizable picture book creators of this generation comes a loving tribute to all kinds of dads.

"Robinson outdoes himself.... For all its simplicity, this colorful book is laden with meaning, depicting fathers as vulnerable, imperfect, gentle, and empathetic-in a word, deeply human. A powerful affirmation for all dads-the good, the flawed, and those doing the best they can." -Kirkus, Starred Review
"Dedicated to 'caregivers who give what they never got,' Robinson's animal-centric ode to fathers moves with a realistically nuanced portrayal of parents as people." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
