Reviews

"There’s a light touch at play here that somehow works with the rich colors and sense of magic to make the book’s final pages mysteriously affecting and the inevitable hug genuinely heartwarming."
     —New York Times Book Review

"For the single father especially (“The Perfect Gift for Dad," says the back cover), Susan Paradis’s My Daddy can be a resonant experience … The book is a happy device to bring father and child together."
     —The Boston Globe

"This lovely picture book celebrates the relationship between father and son. The fantastic and fantastical art combines a little boy’s perspective and imagination with familiar objects and situations in lush, gorgeous pictures that are stories themselves about the importance of trust, love, support, and learning to be brave and believe in oneself."
     —Booklist
