PreS-Gr 2-- Beautifully composed black-and-white photographs reveal tender moments between fathers and their children. Similar in style to photo essays by George Ancona, this book effectively uses white space in the page layouts to draw readers into the portraits. The ethnic and geographic representation heightens the universality of the theme, and the poetic narrative is ideal for sharing aloud. Some children may want to bypass this title in favor of a more colorful one. Don't let them miss this heartfelt family tribute. --Barbara Lattimer, Yucca Valley Branch Library, CA
