And Happy is ... his dad. He wishes his dad had a regular job, like all the other kids' parents. He didn't mind his dad being a clown when he was a little kid, but now it's just embarrassing. And even worse, since business is slow, his dad is putting a sign on the front lawn advertising his clown services! But one night at dinner Dad announces that he's going back to his old job of being a lawyer. "You were a lawyer?" the boy asks, incredulous. Now his dad wears a suit and tie to work, the family can buy a new car, his mom can take piano lessons, and he can have a skateboard and cellphone. But something feels different. The boy wonders if his dad misses being a clown. Or is he the one who misses Happy? With bittersweet humor, Cary Fagan brings us a story about a boy's growing consciousness and a father's realization that he can be himself."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Clowns $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Occupations $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children's stories. 700 1 $a PavlovicÌ, Milan $c (Illustrator) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fagan, Cary. $t Son of Happy. $d Toronto ; Berkeley : Groundwood Books : House of Anansi Press, 2020 $z 9781773061795 $z 9781773061795 $w (OCoLC)1109725328 941 $a 2 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023317.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD05530262C811EBBBC4168156ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
