My Daddy belongs to the bestselling Growing Hearts series
and will make the perfect gift for Father’s Day. This series celebrates the milestones of a
toddler’s emotional development. Time spent
with dad while riding bikes or swimming in the pool become treasured
activities. If a child becomes scared,
angry or any of the other toddler emotions, nothing helps calm their spirits
quite like a hug from their dad. With
dad we can feel daring, playful, adventurous and confident.
The illustrations in this sweet book are
unique. Dad is illustrated in giant form
with his daughter a tiny figure. The
emotions expressed on the daughters face perfectly exemplify the emotions she
is experiencing. The way in which she
hugs her daddy’s leg or hides behind his strong hand shows the special bond
that can only be experienced between a father and his special daughter.
