A simply wonderful book! Upon realizing how much his father loved him, Rob lands on a perfect way to reciprocate the feeling, which then allows the father a very special time with his family he wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Though the boy may be older, even a very young child can understand the book’s message. It’s poignant and a great choice for the Christmas season. I only wish it was easier to find a copy of, so my apologies for the tease. Hopefully your library has it like ours does!
