Bookroo's summary

Harvey feels lost choosing a Father's Day gift, overshadowed by his siblings' confident choices. Laurie Ann's ties, Martin's nails, and Nadine's golf balls seem to win their dad's approval. But Harvey recalls his dad's kindness and decides to create something personal. With a crayon in hand, he crafts a gift that speaks from the heart. Will his unique gesture resonate with his father, or will it be just another present? Discover the true meaning of gratitude and connection in this touching tale.

From the publisher

Harvey doesn’t know what to get his father for Father’s Day. It’s especially hard when his older sisters and brother seem so sure that their presents are his favorites. Laurie Ann gives him a tie–every year! And Martin always gives him a box of nails. Nadine says Dad loves golf balls. How do they know he likes these presents so much? Because every year Dad gives them each a hug and says, “Thank you.” And they say, “You’re welcome. “The night before Father’s Day, Harvey remembers all of the nice things his dad helped him with that week. He picks up a crayon and starts to draw. And when Harvey gives his dad his present, it’s Harvey who has said, “Thank you.” And it’s his Dad who responds, “You’re welcome.”
