Title: artistic license?
Review: Though I found the illustrations to be beautifully rendered I had to questions why the boy who clearly and beautifully resembles John Denver's son in the book, why does the father look nothing like John Denver? Did the illustrator/artist think it was beyond the grasp of the children of this generation to grasp a white father to have created such a beautiful brown skin boy with an afro? There is a tiny pic of them in the back of the book. I guess he figured they wouldn't read that far, or put 2 and 2 together. To some it may seem a small thing, but to those who have multi-racial families it might have been an opportunity to see a family like themselves in a beautiful book, with a wonderful song, by a gifted man.
