Title: Knock Knock: My Dad's Dream For Me
Author: Daniel Beaty (Author), Bryan Collier (Artist)
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Ages: Elementary aged children who are experiencing the prolonged (or permanent) absence of a parent whether through divorce, incarceration, or death
A simple, powerful book for children, about an absent father and the love he leaves behind
Every morning, I play a game with my father.
He goes knock knock on my door
and I pretend to be asleep
till he gets right next to the bed.
And my papa, he tells me, "I love you."
But what happens when, one day, that "knock knock" doesn't come? This powerful and inspiring book shows the love that an absent parent can leave behind, and the strength that children find in themselves as they grow up and follow their dreams.
What our Vetting Team has to say:
“I love the artwork - the depictions of the city that the boy lives in and the world as he sees it through his bedroom window are really lovely”.
