Daddy Hugs

Nancy Tafuri's 'Daddy Hugs' is a tender picture book that beautifully illustrates the universal theme of a father's love through the lens of woodland animals. Each page features a different animal daddy and their little one sharing a special hug, from furry bears to silky hares. The book's simple, repetitive structure and warm illustrations make it perfect for a cozy read-aloud, while an author's note adds an educational layer with a seek-and-find list of critters and their scientific names, encouraging observation and early science engagement. It's a wonderful way to reinforce feelings of security and affection.

All across the woodlands, animal daddies and their little ones cuddle up together. From furry bear hugs to silky hare hugs, Nancy Tafuri celebrates all the hugs that are extra special because they are just-daddy-and-me hugs. A special author's note includes a list of critters to seek and find on each page, along with their scientific names.
