Love, Father" Peter Sis, an award-winning illustrator and author, tells the true story of opening the red box his father kept out of reach in his study and discovering the journal he had kept as he wandered through Tibet, lost, in the 1950s Soviet era. Through his fathers words and drawings, Sis blends memoir and fable to tell the tale. Through intricate illustrations and poetic narration, the book captures themes of adventure, separation, and the magic of childhood imagination.
