Building Connections and Relationships
Firm foundations & solid connections make a great—& obvious—metaphor for the connection we strive to forge between ourselves & our children

Firm foundations & solid connections make a great—& obvious—metaphor for the connection we strive to forge between ourselves & our children

A bagpiping cat, a banjo-strumming squirrel and a singing duck joyfully prepare marvelous pumpkin soup. “Everyone has his own job to do. Everyone is happy. Or so it seems…” Then the story shifts to a new direction. No longer about collaboration and pooling of scarce resources, Pumpkin Soup now focuses on the tension among the former friends…. The book does a great job of capturing the character’s frustration, remorse and most importantly their commitment to their friendship as well as their willingness to repair the breach. Their solution provides an excellent template for readers to embrace.

These wonderful books showcase Dad Wisdom at its best, reinforce the important role fathers play in their children’s lives and present memorable moments of connection.
