Side By Side: A Celebration Of Dads
A heartfelt and playful ode to the father-child relationship.
King and Jester, Boat and Captain, Mountain and Climber... fathers and children are all of these things and more in Chris Raschka's tribute to this familial pair. Each stanza presents three scenarios in which the father and child's roles are subtly balanced. The pairs vary between stanzas, coming together in a visit to an ice-cream truck. With minimal text and maximum emotion, the book encapsulates Raschka's own passion and nostalgia for being a father to his [now-grown] son.
Details:
- Ages 3–5
- 48 pages
- 6.88 x 0.38 x 11.38 inches
Chris Raschka is the award-winning author and illustrator of more than 50 books for children. Raschka has received two Caldecott Medals. His fresh, lively and sometimes abstract illustration style captures the deeply-felt experiences of young children, the expressiveness of poetry and the playfulness of urban music.
