Hey Dad, Let's Have a Catch - Mom's Choice Award Recipient

In this children s book, a simple, yet meaningful activity a five-minute catch between a father and son speaks volumes about communication, family, and life. Through the eyes of the child, five-minute catches, squeezed in between the many shifts of his hardworking father, are precious moments and far more than just a physical activity.

In Hey Dad! Let s Have a Catch, the catch becomes a metaphor for communication between father and son, parent and child. Although the dynamics of the activity change through the years, sadly ending and beginning anew when the son becomes a father himself, a catch is depicted as a process, rite of passage, and gift to pass along.
