Hey Dad! Let's Have a Catch by Harold Theurer Jr. and illustrated by William Baxter Bledsoe is a nonfiction children's book about a father and son. The story is told by the son, who waits eagerly everyday for the brief time that his father is home between his day and night jobs. In this time they play catch, and for a few minutes a day the son feels all of the love, pride and bonding that will last a lifetime. When the son gets older and has a son of his own he shares this simple game of catch with him. But there is nothing simple about the message that a few minutes of face to face interaction can create a tighter bond and more meaning memories than any thing money can buy.
Charming & Relevant

My brother has three young sons. He's always promising them that they'll do something fun after he gets home from work or on the weekends. All too often he's postponing these precious moments with them. So I bought this book and thought I'd have his sons give it to him on Father's Day as a gentle nudge. I loved the story, easily read and understood by his children. The illustrations are beautiful as well.
A Wonderful Book
