(1) I Love You Just the Way You Are 

Bartholomew's not having a good day. His legs are too
stumpy, his porridge is too lumpy, and his tummy is too
plumpy. Who could blame a bear for feeling a little
grumpy? But George understands. He knows that some
days are better than others and shows Ba that he's
loved even when he's feeling bad.


(2)  I Love My Daddy

     In I Love My Daddy, the focus is totally on the bond
between father and child, in this case, a bear and his cub.
Sebastien Braun is the author and illustrator of this
the children's picture book for young children.
The book features double-page spreads showing
the two bears with a simple sentence embedded
in the artwork. The story begins in the morning with
 "My daddy wakes me." It goes on to tell about all of the things
the cub's daddy lovingly does for him and ends with the cub
expressing his love for his daddy. This gentle story will appeal
to two- to four-year-olds as would be a good gift to honor dads
who are actively raising their children, either with a spouse or alone.

(3)  Just Like Daddy    by Cecilia Johannson

Giraffe has a long neck, tiger has fuzzy stripes,
and hena has furry spots-- just like their daddies!
Touch and feel their daddies' furs as you say
good night to each, but don't forget that the best
daddy of all is just like you! 


(4) Daddy, Papa, and Me

This is a board book about a day
in the life of a toddler being raised by two males,
Daddy and Papa.  Written in simple rhyme, the story
is about a day full of active play in a loving family. 
It ends with the toddler still full of energy and
Daddy and Papa in need of a rest.  The cheery mixed
media illustrations and the rhythmic text will appeal to
little ones, while the book would also be a nice gift
for a gay couple.

(5) Papa, Do You Love Me?
 
In Africa, a young Maasai boy asks,
“Papa, do you love me?”
After a loving response from his father,
the boy goes on to pose many “what if”
questions to confirm that his father’s love
will remain steadfast at all times.
The orange, brown and beige tones of the illustrations
by Barbara Lavallee capture the sunshine and heat
of the African plains. While the clothing, daily life,
and environment depicted in the text and illustrations
will be different from anything your child has experienced,
the message of the book is a universal one.

(6) Every Friday

Many of our favorite memories of childhood center
on family traditions. Every Friday, a picture book
written and illustrated by Dan Yacarino, celebrates
one such ritual. The narrator of the story, a young boy,
recounts how he and his father, who live in the city,
go out for breakfast at their favorite diner every
Friday morning. They take their time walking to the diner,
enjoying one another’s company and all the sights of
a busy city. At the diner, the boy says, “While we eat,
Dad and I talk about all sorts of things.” It’s no wonder
that Friday is the little boy’s favorite day of the week.
Every Friday
features appealing illustrations with
a 1950s retro look.
