My Sometimes Dad

From the author:

As a mom in a queer blended family, I know these hard situations deserve books that explain the feelings that come up for children. Currently, it is impossible to find stories about the complexity of biological and non-biological fathers who were once around, and now are not. My Sometimes Dad is written from the perspective of a child experiencing the full spectrum of feelings when his Dad comes to pick him up. The conclusion he comes to is not tidy or trite, but real.

The book is illustrated by Haeon Grace Kang. Haeon is an illustrator and artist based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. She holds a Master of Arts and is currently studying to become a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist. She has a holistic and systemic understanding of mental health and this theme often surfaces in her work. She hopes to continue her studies in the direction of art and play therapy once she finishes her Master of Marriage and Family Therapy degree.
