About this ebook

Every daddy is different--and that makes them even more special!

"Some daddies teach you about the world. Others attend tea parties. Some help turn blankets into forts. Others hold you steady while you pedal."

This rollicking showcase of daddies celebrates the incredible diversity of modern fathers. The inclusive cast of characters--including a two-dad family, a single dad, and a stay-at-home dad--highlights the bond between daddy and child as they play, learn, comfort, and laugh their way through everyday life. This open-hearted ode to fatherhood will give readers new appreciation for how their own fathers and father-figures shine in their own unique ways.

Some Daddies is the perfect gift for a new dad, Father's Day, or any occasion for parents and educators to read with their kids. Carol Gordon Ekster's playful text is illustrated with the quirky, colorful artwork of Javiera Maclean Alvarez, making this picture book a wonderful read-aloud.

"Every daddy is different." In this love letter to Daddies, Carol Ekster points out that "Every daddy is different." Each page shows several daddies with their children. The cute illustrations by Javiera Maclean Álvarez echo the sentiment that "Every daddy is different" The pictures show great diversity. Some daddies are different colors or dress differently, one is in a wheelchair. One family has two daddies. This sweet picture book is a great choice to read on father's day or any day at all.
