A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting #[nn]
In "The Tooth," Guy Delisle delivers a quietly poignant slice of domestic life with a touch of humor, as a small moment over a shared cereal becomes a tender, slightly awkward revelation between father and daughter. Written with Delisle’s signature observational warmth and illustrated with his distinctive, expressive style—both in story and on the cover—this story captures the quiet intimacy of everyday parenting, where a single scent can carry more weight than words.
