Father Figures Requill Phillips

This beautifully illustrated story truly highlights the African Proverb "It takes a village."
With no father in the home, Tina and her mother turn to their village for assistance in
finding Tina a chaperone so she can attend her first father-daughter dance with
her classmates.

Tina's mother arranges five interviews with trusted father figures for Tina to
ultimately choose who will accompany her to the dance. Readers will delight in Tina's
heartwarming interactions with the men she interviews and her resulting decision.
This book encourages readers to ask questions, explore future career options, make
thoughtful decisions to live a rich life, and look within their own village for
father figures.
