Description
About the Book
Sarah compares her family's life with a single father to riding a unicycle, a balancing act that is sometimes difficult but also filled with joy and love.Book Synopsis
Sarah knows her unicycle-riding dad is special--even as Sarah cooks, takes care of her brother, and does homework on her own. When her dad finally graduates from high school, gets a second job, and eventually lands a promotion, Sarah realizes there's so much more that's special about him. Unicycle Dad shares the inherent struggles and quiet joys of a single-parent, impoverished household. Raised by a single, teenage father in poverty, author Sarah Hovorka grew up in a family structure lived by many but seldom represented in children's books. Illustrator Alicia Schwab captures the story with warm, expressive art.Review Quotes

This is a sweet story of family teamwork, perseverance, and joy. I love that it highlights a single father. Fun author’s note explaining the story behind the real unicycle dad.
