My Review
If I Didn't Have You is the perfect blend of humor and love. This heartwarming tale depicts the incredible bond between a father and son in a fun and lighthearted way.Young readers will be drawn to the brightly colored and exquisitely detailed illustrations and eagerly absorbed everything each page has to offer.
The back and forth banter between father and son is priceless and little ones will get a kick out of Mike's crazy ideas.
If I Didn't Have You is wonderfully written and certain to become a fast favorite with children and parents alike.
I highly recommend picking up a copy.
About the Author
As a print and television writer, I've majored in silliness for more than 30 years. During that time, I've written for a whole bunch of Emmy-nominated TV shows (five years worth of parody songs and other funny stuff for The Rosie O’Donnell Show), animated series like Taz-Mania, Disney’s Raw Toonage and Goof Troop, several editions of the Grammy Awards and Tony Awards, Kids Are People Too, a slew of Nickelodeon projects including Whoopi’s Littleburg, network specials, game shows, articles for publications including the New York Times and the New York Daily News, and I've created hundreds of comic books, trading cards, web videos, and other special projects for kids and their parents.
But my proudest achievement is the brilliance of Simone, Andrew, Nathan, and David, the children my wonderful wife Rose and I “co-authored.” They have taken me to new heights of silliness, and they are the reason I'm a happy man.
