Reviews
"Beautiful oil paintings with rich colors of browns, blues, yellows, and greens fill each page and ­capture Simms and his family's determination. . . . This heartwarming story about a boy who is dedicated to helping his father has language simple enough for a primary student to understand as a read-aloud, but older elementary students will also benefit from reading this beautiful picture book independently."--School Library Journal
