Critic reviews

"Robinson outdoes himself.... 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
