Busy Daddy! Daddy is doing the laundry, the cooking, the garden planting- all of the indoors and all of the outdoors chores. And, with an enthusiastic toddler ‘helping’ with all of those tasks, Daddy is also doing a lot of cleaning! 
 
A day in the life of a child and their ever-patient, smiley, Dad (single parent implied). Includes a realistic number of changes of clothes for an exuberant toddler (!) and stars an equally involved kitty cat. 
 
A truly promising debut from Angel Dike which captures a toddler’s voice through simple exclamations. Glenn’s soft pastel palette convey a broad range of facial expressions; look out for Daddy’s increasingly sleepy-looking face.... ‘Promotes positive stories about Black males and Black families’ (Ann Marie, EY Safeguarding Consultant, Letterbox Library reviewer).
