Publisher Description
Dad isn't afraid of anything … except, that is, for one thing. And there's only one person who can help him overcome it. Sometimes even the bravest of the brave need a helping hand.
Best-selling authors, Sally Morgan and Ezekiel Kwaymullina, team up with acclaimed illustrator, Matt Otley, to bring us a story about the bond between father and son.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
During an action-filled day at the beach, a boy recounts everything his father isn't afraid of, but it's Ottley's illustrations that do all the talking in this hyperbolic paper-over-board story. Making dynamic use of perspective and scale, Ottley shows the boy's father laughing as a skyscraper-high sandcastle tumbles down on him, flexing his bicep while a surging wave threatens to swallow him up, and confidently swimming amid transparent jellyfish to unhook a fishing line. There's a cartoonish sense of playfulness throughout, right up to the final scene in which the father's sole, improbable fear seagulls is revealed, giving the boy a chance to be the brave one. Ages 3 5.
