內容簡介
內容簡介 最棒的爸爸不一定是男生 Leo喜歡分享,但接下來的主題是:「我的爸爸」,聽到瞬間,Leo胃開始打結,因為他從沒有見過爸爸阿,該如何分享呢?同學們早就構思好要說什麼了,但Leo完全沒譜。因為Leo是媽媽唯一的小孩。媽媽是超級英雄,她的腦海常常創造怪獸或新世界。既然媽媽是英雄,那爸爸會是誰呢?會不會是醫生?老師?運動員?…Leo翻遍家裡資料、挖出許多照片,只有媽媽和Leo的合照,卻沒有爸爸? 到底有爸爸的存在嗎?最後Leo找到背後又酷又勇敢的小故事,或許那個人不是爸爸,卻是Leo的全部。 家庭型態有很多種,都有其美好、值得欣賞的一面。在英國有四分之一的孩子生活在單親家庭中,而其中的90%的單親父母是女性。作者希冀透過Leo的故事,與百萬孩子產生共鳴。"
