Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this, I remembered this book from my childhood and got quite sad that I couldn't find it. I was given it as a gift around year 2000, maybe late 90s, It was written from the perspective of a young person who explored fantasies about things like, his father being a super hero and his best friend through creating comic bool illustrations. He was a good drawer but struggled to draw hands.

Basically the book is about the relationship, or lack of, between him and his father. Its a sweet book, I would love to find it and buy it and read it and cry like a baby. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Spoiler****





At the end of the book is a final drawing of a perfect hand.
