Dad and Me in the Morning
What's This Book About
Early one morning, a young boy wakes to the light of his alarm clock. He puts on his hearing aids and clothes, then goes to wake his father. Together they brave the cold as they walk down the dirt road that leads to the beach. Lakin’s understated story reminds readers that sometimes the best way to communicate doesn’t involve words, while Steele’s watercolor illustrations show that beauty is never far away.
What Kind of Book is Dad and Me in the Morning
Reviews
The sweet, warm illustrations in this book add to the loving story of a father and son's trip to the beach to see the sunrise. The boy is deaf, so this book talks about how he feels vibrations, reads lips, signs, and squeezes his dad's hand. This story is an ordinary moment that is extraordinary because of the love and beauty of nature and family.
