Who wouldn’t want to be just like daddy, when daddy is strong and silly, kind and practical?

But he also knows how to have fun, and even if he messes up, it’s never a big deal. Dad can deal with the scariest of monsters (well, spiders at least…), keeps his eyes open on the rollercoaster (most of the time), and puts on all the silly voices when he reads a bedtime story.

The debut picture book from Lucy Freegard, Just Like Daddy, is funny, charming and heartwarming – a delightful read.
