I am hopeful for the future. Thank you for this contribution to our culture. These stories are needed! - Keisha CALLING ALL GIRL DADS! This one is especially for you! This is a book that can be read over and over with your daughter. It is simple enough for even a toddler to enjoy but profound enough for an older child to understand the impact. Dads should snuggle up and think of their own special nickname for their girls. Make a lasting connection over a beautiful book. - Alyssa G. Heart-warming treasure!
