Dada was written to celebrate the special bond between fathers and their children. The relationship between a father and a child is foundational. Together, they experience the light and cheery moments of life, while also developing a deep emotional relationship. My hope for Dada is that families will read the book together, enjoying its lyrical story and vibrant images. It was written to help parents unwind and destress after a long day at work, to instill happiness in their daily interactions with children, and at the same time, to create and verbalize a solid bond. Dada's illustrations invite children to search and discover the animals hidden on each page, stimulating their brains and helping them learn new things. In my own family, reading time brings us joy and laughs. According to research, it also brings us closer together and supports the mental health and wellness of our children (6, 7). I hope that Dada also brings that memorable, magical moments to your family.
