http://bit.ly/nplAlmond
If you love to read, this book is for you. If you hate to read, this book is for you. Part novel, part graphic novel, part picture book, Slog's Dad is that rare combination that defies genre. The story reflects a son's deep grief, and painful mourning, over his father's difficult death. Slog truly believes that his Dad has come back for one last goodbye. The reader is persuaded to keep an open mind, and go along for the 52-page ride. This is a unique book. Don't miss it.
