About the Book:

Dad is strong.
Dad is sweet.
Dad dreams of watching you grow…
There are as many ways to be a dad as there are dads in the world. Dad is a big-hearted love letter to all of them, reflecting the range of relationships that dads, both animal and human, have with their little ones.
Dad is destined to be a classic, an evergreen gift for new fathers, and one of those rare picture books that resonates with every reader at any age.
The perfect gift for baby showers, Father’s Day, or all year round!
