How much do fathers love their children? Enough to fly them to school in
a plane? Enough to dig for the biggest dinosaur the world has ever
known? From exploring dark caves to leading a marching band to even
being a space alien, a father's love is unconditional, and he will do
anything to make sure all of his child's dreams come true.
The dynamic duo of Sherry North and Marcellus Hall team up once again to
treat parents and children to a story that celebrates affection with
imagination. Because I Am Your Daddy is a great read-aloud book at
storytime or a soothing book at bedtime, and an ideal gift for new
fathers on Father's Day.

The loving bond between parent and child is at the core of the story,
and the joy is as much in the hugs as in the imaginative play.

Hall's simply gorgeous retro-styled watercolors depicting a dad with his
dark-haired daughter and her dolly go to town with each premise--the
image of the three of them surfing is nothing short of breathtaking in
its jewel-toned splashy motion. -Kirkus reviews

**Praise for Because You Are My Baby

. . . The sentimental text is balanced by simple geometric shapes that
evoke rockets, sea life, and airplanes adventuring happily together in
uncluttered spreads." --Booklist
"Wry but always inviting images . . . lifts a familiar premise far above
the ordinary." --Publishers Weekly
