A bedtime story for the families who build, fix, and hold the world.
Some heroes wear a cape. His wears a tool belt.
Some kids hear the truck before anyone else. Hands Like Daddy's is a bedtime story for the children of tradespeople, the plumbers, electricians, carpenters, masons, and HVAC techs who leave before the sun and come home with worn boots and rough hands.
Through a gentle call-and-response little ones can chant along to, it follows one small boy through the long day of missing his dad, and the warm rush of the moment the door finally clicks open and he is scooped up at last.
Who fixes it?
Hands like Daddy's.
It is a book about the ache of waiting, the pride of watching, and the quiet wish every child knows: one day I will have hands like yours. With warm, hand-drawn art and a rhythm built for reading aloud, it honors the hands that build and fix and hold the world.
Made for children ages 3 to 7, and for the fathers and grandfathers who will read it aloud at bedtime.
- A heartfelt tribute to blue-collar dads and the trades
- Warm, hand-drawn illustrations on every page
- A read-aloud refrain kids will shout along to
A gift that says: I see what you do, and I want to be just like you.
