Daddy is My Hero

Every child knows the truth — and this beautiful book captures it perfectly: Daddy really is a hero!

Daddy is My Hero follows a young boy who lovingly watches his dad cook, clean, and play games — a dad who doesn't always win and isn't always right — but through the magic of a child's imagination, transforms into an unstoppable force who captures outlaws, battles greedy dragons, and puts monsters to sleep with a wizard's spell. Written in clever, bouncy rhyme and brought to life with adorably detailed illustrations, this heartwarming story is a perfect tribute to every child's first real-life superhero. It's an ideal read-aloud for little ones aged 2–5 and a truly special gift for any dad worth celebrating.

• Celebrates Every Kind of Dad: From everyday moments like cooking and playing games to epic imaginary adventures, this story honours the real, imperfect, wonderful dads who show up every day.
• Charming Rhyming Text: The clever, rhythmic writing makes this a joy to read aloud — perfect for bedtime, storytime, or any moment shared between a parent and child.
• Sparks Imaginative Play: Kids will delight in the fantastical flights of fancy — outlaws, dragons, and monsters — that show just how limitless a child's love and imagination can be.
• A Gift-Ready Treasure: Whether it's Father's Day, a baby shower, or just a spontaneous celebration of a special dad, this sweet hardcover is a keepsake families will return to again and again.
