The Calvin and Dad series chronicles the bond Calvin and his dad share as they explore a parade of life's marvels, some seemingly ordinary but always humorous. Each story, told in first person from Calvin's perspective, allows the adult reader to chuckle over a child's perspective of how things are and reminisce of the days of Dad teaching a child and the many things that a child teaches their Dad.

In I Live in 2 Houses, Calvin's parents have divorced with Calvin dividing his time between his parent's two houses. He enjoys having different experiences with each parent who make his time with them memorable, enjoyable, and filled with love. Calvin and his dad ponder the realities of divorce as they find and share a silver lining.
