Summary
When cartoonist and animator Liz Climo set out to write You're Dad — a hilarious follow-up to her book You're Mom — she realized she wanted to start a conversation. While You're Mom serves as more of a guide to parenting from someone who wanted one, You're Dad takes a look at the different sizes and shapes families can come in. Liz talks with Zibby about her career in both animation and illustration, how to encourage children when they display a passion for art, and The Simpsons' uncanny ability to predict the future.
