My Daddy Rules the World: Poems About Fathers

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | May, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9189-2 $17.99
(3) K-3 Using very simple, childlike language, each of the fifteen poems celebrates personal moments between fathers and their sons or daughters. Lighter subjects--snoring, playing, reading together--balance out more serious topics such as absent military dads and getting in trouble. Smith's spare torn-paper collages of racially diverse families capture the warmth, closeness, and love in each father-child relationship.
