<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the creator of "Wallpaper" and "Skunk on a String" comes a witty and uplifting picture book that offers a surprising and heartwarming look at nontraditional families. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>New from the creator of <i>Wallpaper</i> and <i>Skunk on a String</i> comes a witty and uplifting picture book that will speak to families of all varieties about how family really is what you make it. <p/> Minimal text paired with bright paper-collage illustrations create comparisons on each spread in which the narrator talks about their family--especially the striking similarities between Dad and the cat. Both have orange hair, love milk, start their days with stretches, appreciate a good nap, and are brave (some of the time). The narrator is more like Mom, with wild hair, blue eyes, and a love of dancing. <p/> A surprising twist at the end reveals the narrator's unexpected identity, also hinted at with clues in the art throughout the book. Warmth and whimsy in the illustrations add a playful balance to the story's deeper message about the love that makes a family a unit, no matter how unusual it may look from the outside.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A tale sure to find a home among myriad types of families."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Never didactic, this is a warmhearted window into the things, expected and otherwise, that make up a family."-- "Booklist - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>A gentle and adorable book that ticks all the boxes.-- "Canadian Review of Materials"<br><br>Clever and sweet, with broad appeal for all ages, this is a title young readers and their adults will reach for again and again.-- "School Library Journal - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>Lam's brightly colored paper-collage illustrations are unique and silly, a winning combination.-- "The New York Times"<br><br>The humor plus the comforting message that family is what you make it is likely to solidify My Cat Looks Like My Dad as a new favorite.-- "Shelf Awareness"<br>
