(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Warrick. When Darcy's playdate is canceled, her father suggests "Darcy-Daddy Day" instead, alternating her planned activities with items from his to-do list. Daddy picks first: "coffee time," with chocolate milk for Darcy. Next up is "super fancy" dress-up--Darcy's choice--and Daddy dons a pink tutu. Humorous illustrations capture the fun being had in this warm celebration of family, love, and play.
