I have a new one out this month about a boy whose mother is in the Navy. It's called Sometimes We Were Brave and is about how a boy, Jerome, and his dad manage when his mother goes to sea.<br /><br />And also please take a look at Melissa Parkington's Beautiful, Beautiful Hair about a girl whose Dad tucks her in each night with "Good night, my Melissa of the beautiful, beautiful hair" until the night when her hair is gone because she's donated it to a kid whose hair won't grow.<br /><br />Enjoy your baby!

It was my first book as well as the first for the illustrator Peter McCarty. <br /><br />I agree with what you say about how fathers are portrayed in picture books, but I'm also optimistic that we will see some changes as more and more dads take active roles.<br /><br />I'd like to suggest another father book I'm quite pleased with. Two Old Potatoes and Me is the story of a girl and her father planting potatoes and I think you'd enjoy both the story and the art.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674921059674712837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22471515.post-75716373123017033642009-12-24T11:48:46.597-08:002009-12-24T11:48:46.597-08:00On Our Way Home, no question.

An outstanding book about a little bear and his Daddy on a hike. No mentions of absence or anything other than special time with Dad. For a bonus, Daddy tucks the little bear in at the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
