Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Within the confines of a story we've heard before, Praagman has crafted a marvelous fatherhood tale that upsets those old expectations in just the right way. You don't have to be a daddy to appreciate this stirring single-dad tale (a rarity of its kind)." -- Kirkus "Like the tone of the story, Praagman's spare graphic illustrations set against solid colored backgrounds mix vintage feel with modern sensibility . . . A quiet and cozy tale with a subtle paradigm shift."-- School Library Journal
