MY REVIEW:
Beautifully written young adult story about coming of age. Fourteen-year-old David Lattimer has been bestowed the long honoured tradition of hunting for the family's Christmas Goose. With his ten-year-old sister, Rose, at his side, David sets off to fulfill his family obligation but what he doesn't realize is that he is going to need more than his Grampa's shotgun to get the Goose and survive this trek!
This short story is sure to delight young readers who will be captivated by what happens to David and Rose.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely review of A Father's Love. I enjoyed writing this story, and actually wrote it two years ago for the CBC Literary Awards, but never published it. I pulled it out of the drawer and teamed up with a local artist who created the amazing illustrations. This story is one my children enjoy sharing with their friends.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a fun read! Lorhainne, I bet it must have been like seeing it through new eyes when you pulled it back out, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour right Collette it was like seeing through new eyes when I pulled this story from the drawer. Which of course made it better. I loved this story, and I love the illustrations Sherrill created, as I've found with my own kids they love books that have illustration/pictures throughout.
