*SIGNED BOOKPLATE*

A moving tribute to the joy and grounding that fathers bring to their children's lives.

On that very first day, Bundled in blankets, You cried to be heard. "Shh, baby bird, I've got you," are Daddy's first words. What does a daddy do? From day one, this daddy speaks love to his little one. And along with that love, his words and actions speak many other things, too: like truth, joy, comfort, and pride. Like many dads, he answers a million questions and tries to make sure that days are full of fun adventures, giggles, and hugs. Dads are good at scaring away imaginary monsters, and honest about how to confront the real ones too. They set an example for the future, speaking out for equality and justice, while sharing lessons from the past. But most of all, daddies encourage their young ones to fight for a better world, with the comfort of knowing their dads are right beside them.
