My Father is Taller than a Tree

Joseph Bruchac, known for his many books on Indigenous peoples of the Americas, has written a lovely book of simple pleasures shared by fathers and sons.  Thirteen varied settings, times of year, and ethnicities show tender, affectionate moments in father-son relationships.  Every double-page spread contains one large and four smaller beautiful illustrations of a day in the lives of each father and son.  A one-line rhyming verse relates the companionship of the pair.  Wendy Anderson Halperin’s crayon and pencil drawings are outstanding.  A perfect match to the obvious joy and comfort sons receive from their dads.
