A heartfelt and playful ode to the father-child relationship, by two-time Caldecott-medal-winning author Chris Raschka

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.

Ages 3 - 5
