"[The] graphics depict the characters as racially ambiguous in highly charged emotional scenes that perfectly match the text. Youngsters who might be in similar situations will find comfort, or at least recognition. An empathetic and powerful evocation of a rarely examined family dynamic."--Kirkus Reviews
It's visiting day, and Dad smells like peppermint--yuck! If only he would wear that nice, breezy cologne that smells like hazelnut... So begins one boy's brief weekly visit with his father in prison. Here's a man who gets angry, but beneath that peppermint surface is much to admire, if only you take the time to look. This richly imagined picture book explores the inner life of a boy who struggles to love a father who can be difficult to love at times. Though they may only have brief visits together, it's clear they love each other. This story bravely explores the all-too-hidden world of incarcerated parents. It's also a beautiful testament to the power of love to bridge the walls that divide us.Author Biography
