Rory loves his dad, but he also really likes his step-dad, Tony.

He has weekends with Dad in the park and makes imaginary dens with Tony, so when Father's Day comes, who should he make his card for at school?Spotting his frustration, Tony spends his 'rainy-day pennies' to take Rory somewhere new - an ART GALLERY, full of wonders. As they pause to reflect in a huge room of rectangles, Rory sees his conflicting feelings glistening back at him in many powerful colours.

Afterwards, a 'chance' encounter with Dad, under a red sky, helps Rory realise that he doesn't have to feel torn at all. PRAISE "...one of the most realistic and honest portrayals... of the conflicting emotions experienced by children who have parents and stepparents.

Perfect for children in KS1 and brilliant for children to be able to see their own and others' realities reflected." - The Literacy Tree
