Daddy Will Be There
Lois G. Grambling, Walter Gaffney-Kessell
Hardcover (Greenwillow Books, May 29, 1998)The young narrator of this heartfelt picture book can do many things on her own. She can play in her backyard, attend a friend's birthday party, and go to kindergarten. Each activity leads her farther away from home, but faith in her father's presence at the end of the day never wavers. "I know Daddy will be there," she says with confidence. Lois G. Grambling and Walter Gaffney-Kessell have collaborated to create a warm and encouraging story that young listeners will readily embrace.
