In Popsicle Fish, Murphy reflects on lessons from his everyday experience with his young sons. There's a lot for fathers to take away from his essays. Several gave me goosebumps. All made me feel more human. The book reminded me that children are great teachersthey can help us know ourselvesand the most simple interactions with them can be profound. I remembered times of connection with my own children, and vowed to find ways to stay connected. For that, I thank Michael Murphy and his sons.

Popsicle Fish reaches deep down into the pockets of every parent's laughs and wishes, heartaches and hopes, and pulls out fistfuls of wisdom and love. Reading Popsicle Fish is like browsing through your family album, declaring, "Yes, I remember that!" and discovering that the father he discusses is you, the children in the stories are yours, and the message is for everybody. Like all family albums, you will hold onto this one forever.
