APPEALS TO: SOME

Kindergartener Ava loves the clothes that her father creates for her.  When it comes time for MoveUp day, from kindergarten to first grade, Svs is nervous to recite a poem on stage, but her daddy is working on an extra special dress for her to shine in.

Michael and Ava’s story reflects their father-daughter real life.  It’s too bad the illustrations lack the depth to make the whole book sparkle, too.  Not glitter, but with depth and more skillful drawing. A touching story of bonds and love that deserves better.
