Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the upheaval of a divorce or a new living situation where one parent is physically absent. It speaks directly to the ache of missing a parent while offering a humorous, modern lens on how families stay connected across different households. The story follows a father who goes to extreme, comedic lengths to spend time with his children, eventually learning that honesty and stability are what they truly need. While the premise is rooted in the complexity of legal custody battles, the narrative is filled with musical energy and 21st-century relatability. It is a helpful tool for normalizing the big feelings of sadness and frustration that come with family transitions, providing a safe space to discuss the difference between a parent's mistakes and their unconditional love. This is best suited for children aged 8 to 14 who can appreciate the slapstick humor alongside the more poignant themes of resilience and family integrity.
