Kristy
Dempsey writes a totally radical tale of a surfer chick and her totally cool
surfer dude dad. "Surfer Chick" is written in rhyme with a fun use of words;
“Chick’s dad ruled the Roost”, “foul-tempered battle”, “ruffled her feathers”,
etc. The story is that of a chick who
wants to be like her dad and talks him into teaching her to surf. She has some
difficulties, gets her feathers ruffled, learns about a wipeout, and has to
find the courage to continue trying to be like her dad.
Henry Cole’s
illustrations are the perfect complement to Dempsey’s humorous prose. The illustrations are created using acrylic
paints and colored pencils. The art is lively, with bold colors that jump out
from the page. Chick’s facial expressions leave no doubt about what she is
thinking. This is a fun father -daughter
title. If you are looking for additional father-daughter books try "Faster!Faster!" by Leslie Patricelli.
