'What a delight this picture book is! Meet "Dad" the slightly obsessive compulsive Minister for Traffic Lights, who decorates the house in red, amber and green and is interested in all things orderly.
'Dad labours away in the road and traffic ministry, working on his solution to road rage as inspired by his Hippie barber Ivan who has convinced him that the colour mauve is the most peaceful colour in the world.
'Wonderfully subversive, this book is about father's, their kids and chilling out. ' (Publication summary)
