Angebote / Angebote:

This sweet bilingual picture book follows a boy and his stay-at-home dad, who takes care of him while his mom goes to work at the port, "where huge cargo ships come and go every day." She oversees the containers that go around the world! The boy recounts his days spending time with his father, from "when the sun starts filling the room with light, " to eating breakfast, brushing his teeth and talking to his grandparents who live in a different country. His favorite time of the day is when he gets to play with his dinosaurs and his friend Tato, a stuffed cat who joins him on all his adventures. When Mom comes home, the whole family goes to the park. After dinner, he goes to bed and thinks about the ships from his mom's work, his dinosaurs and his grandparents. Soon he falls asleep, hugging his special kitty. In this bilingual picture book brightly illustrated by Claudia Delgadillo, young children will relate to the family and its daily routines while immigrants will see themselves as they adjust to life far away from relatives. And children will see that the roles of men and women are fluid, dads can be loving fathers in charge of their kids' well-being and moms can go to the office every day--or vice versa." -- publisher's website
