Summary

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 isa great read-aloud book at storytime or a soothing book at bedtime, and an ideal gift for new fathers on Father's Day. Also available by Sherry North and Marcellus Hall Praise forBecause You Are My Baby "[The illustrations are] reminiscent of those in Margaret Wise Brown'sRunaway Bunny. . . 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 Also available from Marcellus Hall [city i love] Praise forCity I Love [STAR] "Many added layers of narrative delight as well as beautiful colors and an eye-catching sense of design . . . This book is really special, a global tour de force." School Library Journal, starred review [STAR] "Hall's watercolor urban scenes capture the big city's scale while depicting both its bustle and its quieter corners." Kirkus, starred review
