Boys. Dreams. Dads.
Many a boy has had an idea or even a dream of doing something but when he dared to share that idea to his friends, they laughed at him.
This is precisely why guys need a great dad. A guy needs a dad who says, "The stars? Ok, I'll help."
Life is truly grand when you and your dad are trying and failing and trying again- together. It's the wonderful being together and figuring it all out again and again that makes life the best adventure. Talk about the love every boy needs from his dad.
This young fellow, Joe, has a dad who wants to go along on that adventure... to the stars ... and beyond Just how far will they get?
This book is essential reading for every boy. I hope every family with a boy- or a girl- sits down with this book once a week and reads it again and again together. This is what fathers and sons and fathers and daughters can be. This is what a loving, accepting family can be. Lucky if you are born into it but there is hope you can create your own knowing it is a beautiful possibility. What a gift to all children from David Almond.
