Fathers who love you are wonderful!
The story is about fathers who care and are appreciated by the child. It doesn't matter if it is a one parent home, a split custody home, or if this just shows the time spent with dad on his days off. Or maybe the dad is a writer and is home most days. Irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that dad spends good times with the child who is learning all there is to know. The story is simply written and with great sensitivity. The illustrations are equally basic but intrinsically beautiful.

A very warm poem looking at the love of a boy for his father.  It's clear it's a mummy-free household, but the two get on perfectly, what with baking magical things for breakfast, laying toy car track all over the furniture, and having 'us time' under the leaves of a tree at sundown on a day of seaside picnics.  So no, no daring-do, no super-powers or secret second career as an astronaut – this father is heroic in the ways that matter.  I wouldn't have thought the visuals were really loveable for a child reading this, but it's a great affirmative lesson in how just because some fathers might have wicked jobs, and just because classmates have live-in mummies, the best dad is still the one you have to love you.  A strong four stars.

What a touching book about the relationship between child and father. I think many dads should be getting this one for Father's Day this year to snuggle up and read with their kids.

My Dad by Susan Quinn is a beautiful book that celebrates all the things a little boy's father does. It shows the breadth of responsibilities a father takes on when supporting his family. The story revolves around a little boy and the time he spends with his father doing activities and bonding. In the book the father's role is a little ambiguous. He could be a stay at home dad or a single dad. The illustrations are stunning and sweet. A wonderful book for young kids! This would be a great gift for Father's Day to say "thank you." 

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

This book is visually stunning. The illustrations, like watercolor are so beautiful while remaining child friendly (not too stodgy). This book is of course perfect for single fathers, but also for any parents who feel like they're not measuring up to society's standards of a "good parent." The story touches on all of the little things that children and parents do together that are so much more important than making all the money and being a superhero. What our children will remember is our laughter, our playfulness, and our spirit.

This was a cute story, but I needed more. Is Dad a stay at home dad, is he a single dad, what kind of a Dad is dad? I had nothing from this book. But it was cute all the same.

This is a lovely and very sweet book about the relationship between a child and his dad. It celebrates the ways in which dads care for kids every day. They might cook together, go to the park, attend soccer practice or read bedtime stories. Each of these activities, along with the many others found in this title, show how brilliant it is to be the child of a caring parent. The gentle illustrations enhance the text beautifully making for a book to enjoy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
