Critics Review

With many children only living with a single parent, this book is a great reminder to all that families come in all shapes and sizes.– Swings and Roundabouts, a magazine

“ This book acknowledges single parents and the important roles they play to their children. It celebrates families of every shape and size, and highlights the fact that whilst the presence of a male role model is helpful to a child’s upbringing and well-being, it is not always possible or realistic, and there are many other carers that are equally as worthy of celebrating” – In The Good Books“a great heads-up for teachers but also a book which appears to be for littlies but which can enable older students to examine their own perspectives at arm’s length, perhaps even reflect on their own situations and how that has shaped them.” – The Bottom Shelf“A wonderful and heart-warming story that children will love and those who don’t know their dads will find helpful” – Literacy, Families and Learning
