When Dad Showed Me the Universe Summary

When Dad Showed Me the Universe by Ulf Stark

Sometimes the most important things are right under your nose... Tonight Dad wants to show his son something very special: the universe. Of course, they can't possibly embark on such a daring adventure unprepared, so they wrap up warm, gather and provisions, and then off they go. It's a long walk, but eventually they get there. Along the way, they learn that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination, and sometimes the biggest lessons happen when you least expect them.

When Dad Showed Me the Universe Reviews

Gentle humor pervades this father-son tale in the nicest way.

-- Kirkus Reviews (US), starred review
This book allows you to open your mind to the world and what it has to offer and makes you re-evaluate what is important in life. A goosebump inducing story. -- Picture Books Blogger (UK)
All this in a simple tale that reflects a little boy's point of view whilst celebrating family in a gentle, beautifully paced tale that allows readers to expand the gaps left in the narrative. -- Magpies (AU)
