My one issue with this book is what I assume is the illustrator’s choice to make the main character a white boy, when the author is a woman of color and it is clearly from an author’s note that the story is in part based on her experience.

Weekend Dad deals with the realities of a young child starting to transition between two homes when parents separate or divorce. A young boy recounts his week with his mom and then the weekend when he spends time with his dad. There are some heart-filled sections when the boy leaves his beloved stuffie to keep his dad company and a letter that his dad gives to his son.

I was happy to see this book arrive at the Library. Kids need these types of books! However, I’m sad that the little boy has to sleep on the floor while his dad slept in a bed.

When visiting his newly divorced Dad, the narrator doesn't want to do special things--he wants to do what they would have done at home. Leaves his dad his stuffed animal. SWEET!
