About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and celebrate the quiet, everyday magic of the father-child relationship. It is an ideal choice for moments of transition, such as a child starting school or a father returning from a trip, where reaffirming a sense of security and mutual belonging is essential. This is not just a story about a dad teaching a son: it is a beautiful meditation on how they grow together. Through simple, evocative illustrations and minimal text, Miguel Tanco captures the reciprocity of love. While the father provides a steady hand and wisdom, the son provides a fresh lens of wonder and play. It is a gentle, secular, and deeply moving read for preschoolers and early elementary children that models healthy emotional expression and the joy of simple companionship.
