The story opens with a young girl with light skin and dark hair observing her father training “to climb a big mountain called Denali.” He explains that he’ll spend three weeks with a team in Alaska, hauling food and gear across the Kahiltna Glacier. Including her in the experience, he draws his daughter into his preparation, doing push-ups with her on his back and running while pushing her in a stroller. The narrative also explores the father’s motivation of raising money for charity while also testing his own limits—he encourages his daughter to follow such ambitions, telling her she might try someday when she’s older. When the climb ends short of the summit, there’s no sadness; the emotional payoff isn’t about reaching the peak, but in the familial bond reinforced by the father’s thoughtful decision to choose safety. The sentences flow smoothly and convey emotional depth. Miller’s painted illustrations are warm and textured, though the frequent use of surrounding blank space can feel awkward, leaving text and image slightly disconnected rather than in rhythm. Still, the portrayal of a parent balancing ambition with care will surely resonate with readers and caregivers alike.
