About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the special bond between father and child while validating that there is no one right way to be a dad. Through vibrant, primary-colored illustrations, Todd Parr explores the many roles fathers play, from the playful and silly to the hardworking and nurturing. It is a perfect choice for families looking to broaden a child's understanding of different lifestyles and family structures in a way that feels safe and joyful. This book addresses the emotional need for belonging by showing that despite differences in jobs, hobbies, or appearances, the constant factor is unconditional love. It is ideally suited for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to observe the world around them and may have questions about why their family looks different from others or why their dad has certain responsibilities.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on family diversity and physical distance (work travel) in a very direct, secular, and normalizing way. By including daddies with different skin colors (blue, pink, green) and various living situations, it frames difference as a standard part of life. The resolution is entirely hopeful and affirming.
