The Daddy Book

Some daddies sing in the shower. Some daddies sing to you in bed. Some daddies teach you how to walk. Some daddies teach you how to ride a skateboard. All daddies (and their kids) will love this book!

With child-like smiling stick figures, bold, brilliant colour and upbeat text, picture-book creator Todd Parr celebrates the diverse, wonderful world of fathers in The Daddy Book.

Parr focuses on the differences between individual parents (“Some daddies make biscuits. Some daddies stop for doughnuts”), but brings it all together every few pages with lines like “All daddies like to kiss and hug you!” and finishing with “All daddies want you to be who you are!” Parr’s quirky artwork and eternally optimistic – yet never saccharine – books are truly irresistible, for both grown-ups and kids.
