Knock, knock! Who's there?
KNOCK KNOCK: MY DAD'S DREAM FOR ME by Daniel Beaty with illustrations by Bryan Collier. LITTLE BROWN, 2013.
When Dad disappears, his son wonders who will help him learn life's lessons, who will be there to teach him to shave? This brief spoken word poem is lovingly illustrated by award winning artist Collier making the reading a multi-layered experience. No matter why fathers are absent, this is a book that might just help fill up the empty hole in a child's life.
