Chasten Buttigieg's new book

I didn't learn until after the fact about his appearance at Union Stage to promote it this past Friday, but Chasten Buttigieg has just published a children's book, Papa's Coming Home. (We read his memoir, I Have Something to Tell You, back in 2020.)

Here's the summary: "Jojo and Rosie’s papa has been away on a trip, and they can’t wait to welcome him home! They make signs, they pick flowers, and with Daddy’s help, they bake a cake and pack the car with absolutely everything Papa might have missed while he was away. When Papa’s plane arrives, they give him a huge hug—but when they bring him to the car, they realize there’s one small problem: Where will Papa sit? Delightfully illustrated by Dan Taylor, this charming story filled with love celebrates dads and familial bonds. Chasten Buttigieg shines a beautiful light on the humorous musings of toddlers and a parent’s unconditional love for their child."

While I'm not a big fan of children's books--or children--Papa's Coming Home sounds delightful.
