Great for a single mom!

A Father Like That A boy whose father "went away before he was born" tells his mother what he imagines his father would be like and about all the things they would do together every day. It's a positive, if perhaps idealized, vision of what a good father should be, and the story ends on an encouraging note with his mother telling him that he can be a father like that when he grows up. A good book for honestly discussing the feelings of any boy who is dealing with the loss of a father.

This is the only book I've found that has been helpful for my son. Other books have been about fathers living outside the home, or replacement fathers. This one is simply about a boy wishing he had a father. This is something my son truly needed to read because his father was never in the picture and his replacement father- my stepfather- recently passed away. I recommend this for any child in a similar situation.
