Illustrated by
Pascal Campion.
Each book depicts parents and kids participating in wide-ranging activities, from "Cookie baking time" in Dad to "Chugga-chugga choo-choo time" in Mom, both ending with "Sweet dream time." The interactions are endearing and simple but unexpected, while the digital-looking art is exuberantly rendered and diverse in representation; both text and illustrations avoid gender stereotypes without forcing an agenda. Review covers these titles: Time Together: Me and Dad and Time Together: Me and Mom.
