Description: A joyful ode to the special bond between fathers and their daughters from acclaimed creators Shelly Becker and Dan Yaccarino
One, two, Daddy loves you.Three, four, throat feels sore.
Five, six, soothing sips.
Seven, eight, best play mate. A young girl and her artist father make the best of a sick day (with an impromptu puppet show, a cupcake-making session, and lots of art supplies) in this heartfelt, rhyming picture book from acclaimed creators Shelly Becker and Dan Yaccarino.
Brief description: Shelly Becker is the author of One, Two, Grandma Loves You, which School Library Journal called "a pure, cadenced classic" in a starred review. Her other books include Even Superheroes Get Scared, Even Superheroes Make Mistakes, Even Superheroes Have Bad Days (a 2018 Blue Spruce Award Nominee that Kirkus Reviews called "an action-packed romp"), and Mine! Mine! Mine!, which has been included on many Top Five and Top Ten lists of books that teach the concept of sharing. Becker lives in Toronto, far away from her three wonderful grandchildren, who live in New Jersey. When they can't be together in person, they keep in touch by speaking on the phone and sending plenty of pictures and videos.
