About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the complexities of a single-parent household or feeling the absence of a father figure. It is an ideal choice for families who have recently moved to a new neighborhood or those in the process of forming a blended family. The story follows young Louie as he wanders his urban neighborhood with a creative eye, searching for a man who might make a good father. Ezra Jack Keats captures the tender, often unspoken longing children have for stability and belonging. Through vibrant collage illustrations, the book addresses themes of loneliness and the misunderstanding of intentions with a gentle touch. It provides a safe space for children ages 4 to 8 to discuss their own family structures and the surprises that come when we open our hearts to new people.
