Pretend

written and illustrated by

Jennifer Plecas

What could have been a quiet afternoon at

home turns into an adventure for Jimmy and

his dad. Their couch turns into a boat! The

staircase becomes a mountain! And blankets

become a cozy hut, just right to cuddle inside.

The one thing they don't have to pretend is

how much they love one another.

Jennifer Plecas's bold artwork and lively text

come together in a celebration of imagination

and the love between a parent and child.

Great for Father's Day, but wonderful for any day that parent and child spend together.
