In Ahmet Zappa’s first picture book for children, Because I’m Your Dad, a dad like no other promises to give his kid a childhood like no other. Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to life and keep the book universal. The book's ending, a moving tribute to the author's father, guarantees intergenerational appeal: “Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and more…because that's what my dad did for me.”
Both a tribute to his happy childhood and a promise to his daughter, Halo, for a one-of-a-kind relationship, “I wrote this book for anyone who is a father, has a father, or hopes to someday be a father,” says Zappa.
I love this book. It actually made me get a little teary-eyed. It's just so sweet. I love that they really kept the book gender neutral so it doesn't matter if your kids are boys or girls. The illustrations are full page and definitely will pull your kids in. This book is beyond cute!
Because I'm Your Dad will make a great present for Father's Day this year!
