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, "Fathers of all stripes, feathers, and species take center stage in this captivatingly illustrated, quietly complex picture book. This is a tender, accessible tribute that feels inclusive of the myriad ways dads show up in their children’s lives." —Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review, "Dad--gentle, reflective, and accessible--affirms that fatherhood can take many forms.” —Shelf Awareness, Starred Review
