Nick's father replies, "Oh, yes, that's me." Nick's father tucked the blanket around Nick's chin. "See you tomorrow."
Nick's father turned out the big light.
Nick wondered until he fell asleep.


Synopsis

S. E. Hinton on the book

Big David, Little David is my first picture book, and Alan Daniel, who illustrated it, did a wonderful job.

Mom with her coffee - that's me.

True story, too.
