On My Papa’s Shoulders
Niki Daly, illustrated by Niki Daly
A boy describes his walks to school with Mama, Gogo, Tata, and Papa. Each family member takes a different approach: Mama walks briskly, Gogo chooses a quiet route with time to notice a stray cat, and Tata favors shortcuts. The boy’s preferred journey is riding on Papa’s shoulders, high enough to see across the city. Through this everyday school routine, the story traces the distinct rhythms of family relationships and the affection shared on each walk.
