About this item
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.

Her three sons provide her plenty of fodder for her children's books while her reading list influences the rest. Beyond reading and writing, Sarah loves to play games, bike ride, eat chocolate, and enjoy trees ... when she's not too busy homeschooling.
