A beautiful and tender tribute to fatherly love and the singularity of our parents.

"My father was the slowest man in the world."
So begins the story of this funny dad, who eats his couscous one grain at a time, takes a whole week to wash up, and never finishes his sentences. This story celebrates his singularity, the kindness that surrounds him, and the possibility for everyone to find their own rhythm. Sim Mau’s illustrations beautifully convey this character’s moving clumsiness and the gentle absurdity of this tale by Arthur Dreyfus.
