Rory decides to go on an adventure all by himself. As he watches Rory leave, his father decides to follow him, helping Rory during challenging situations like scaring away a wild pig and getting a coconut to drink. A little touch of humor is added as we watch Rory's dad gradually gather mud and leaves as he completely goes out of his way to help Rory and so that Rory does not see him.

Although Buzzeo humanizes the father/child relationship, he adds a considerable amount of nonfiction vocabulary which is unusual for picture books that celebrate dads. I liked it!

Age: Preschool-1st grade
Family: Older brother, younger brother & dad helps build the treehouse
Familiar experience: moving
A pretty straightforward book without much magic in the prose. However, the plot is interesting and easy to follow. Good for siblings that have older siblings that are 3+ years older and start to form a group of friends, while distancing themselves from family.

A sweet celebration of a daughter's longing for time with dad.

Another nice addition to momzie stories because it is not overly sentimental. There's also a plot line which is nonexistent in the observational lovey dovey stories (which are just fine!). The "chook chook chook" of the squirrel will be fun for kids to say along. Stein also captures the protectiveness of a "hostile" animal. For all these positives, the book wasn't outstanding.

Age: Kindergarten to 3rd grade (must understand concept of a memory story)
Media: Thick pastel to emphasize movement
Illustration Style: Composition always includes many people or close shots of faces, full of light and warmth
An African-American mother shares her childhood with her curious daughter. The mother connects each event or special memory to where she’s from, taking care to lightly mention her childhood curiosity towards segregation. The activities the mother describes can be easily transcribed to her daughter’s experiences.

Ugh, was that repetition boring and annoying. I kept waiting for it to change just a little bit. However, this would be a cute way for a parent and child to laugh about the concept of "when I was small" as a literal interpretation. Unfortunately, the repetition is more suited for a toddler age and the humor is more suited for an older age.
It would also be fun to pair an activity such as drawing what you could do if you were teeny tiny.
