My Daddy and Me
by Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli
Illustrated by Seymour Chwast

A tribute to the special relationship between fathers and their children, this heartfelt story, My Daddy and Me, is sure to make readers of all ages reminisce about time spent with their own fathers.

I sit at the window and when I see him I run outside. A playful pup can't get enough time with his doggy daddy. When daddy comes home from work, father and son play games, wrestle, make cookies, plant tomatoes and go for a walk. No matter how tired daddy is, he always makes time for his son, singing him a nighttime lullaby when bedtime comes.

Author Jerry Spinelli truly captures the love between father and son on every page. Whether they are taking a pretend trip to Kalamazoo, playing magic, or accompanying each other on the harmonica and drum, the pair radiates their love and devotion to one another, and demonstrate that there is nothing more treasured than the love between a parent and a child.

With bold colors, Seymour Chwast paints a vivid picture of the playfulness between father and son. My Daddy and Me captures one of the best moments in a child's life--when daddy comes home.
