About This Book
Molly and Her Dad is a poignant story about a young girl, Molly, who copes with her father living far away by inventing fantastical stories about him for her classmates. When her dad finally comes to visit, Molly is initially disappointed that he doesn't live up to her imaginative tales. However, through a heartwarming turn of events, they discover a deep connection: a shared talent and love for storytelling. This book beautifully explores themes of imagination, managing expectations, and finding common ground with family members, even when circumstances are challenging.
Molly's father lives so far away that she makes up stories about him to tell at school, but when he comes to visit she discovers that they have a lot in common.
