All over the world, there are dads who care for their children, who love them, who play with them, and who make their children feel safe and special. In this book we hear from one little boy who thinks the world of his father. To him his dad is - among other things - a man who can jump over the moon, who can wrestle giants, who can “swim like a fish,” and who is “as wise as an owl.” In this little boy’s eyes, there is nothing his father cannot do. Most important of all, the little boy knows that his dad loves him with all his heart.

This is a perfect title for children to share with their dads. With a very minimal text and wonderful full page illustrations, this is a title that will warm the hearts of readers of all ages.
