Happy Mother's Day, Daddy!

By Ocheze Joseph

Happy Mother's Day, Daddy is a heartfelt and empowering children's picture book that celebrates the many forms families take and the extraordinary adults who step into the role of primary caregiver.

When kindergartener Nyla learns her class will be making Mother's Day cards, excitement quickly turns to worry. Without a mother at home, she feels alone and unsure if she belongs in the classroom celebration. Through the compassion of a caring teacher and the stories shared by her classmates, Nyla discovers that love, not labels, is what truly makes a family. Inspired, she proudly creates a card for the person who fills her life with love, care, and encouragement: her dad.

This touching story reminds young readers that families are beautifully diverse and that every child deserves to see their family honored and celebrated. With themes of belonging, inclusion, empathy, and resilience, Happy Mother's Day, Daddy opens meaningful conversations about single parents, grandparents, foster families, adoptive families, and other loving caregivers.
