A Daddy's Love Through a Girl's Eye


Book Description

A father is a girl's first example of a relationship, and the way she sees him treat women will determine how she will let men treat her when she's older. When a girl knows that her father loves her and thinks she's the smartest, most beautiful girl in the world, she will not care what anyone else thinks of her. She won't easily fall for some boy's pick-up lines and will stick to her morals because she knows what true love and respect looks like.




Papa Brings Me the World


Book Description

Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books
