A boy races against the clock to make Father's Day cards for his two dads
RJ is panicking! His teacher has given the class 30 minutes to finish their Father's Day cards. RJ has done the math, and he knows he won't have enough time to make two perfect cards for his two perfect dads. Time ticks by, and while the other kids have no trouble finishing their cards, the more RJ tries to focus and get the job done, the more overwhelmed and distracted he feels.
RJ manages to finish one card, and just when he decides that this will have to do, his teacher and classmates surprise him. They used their extra time to create a second card for him. So, when his dads pick him up at the end of the day, RJ greets them joyfully and gives each of them their own handmade card.
Charming illustrations bring a common craft-making scenario to life in this story that touches on anxiety, time management, and perfectionism in a relatable way.
