What My Daddy Loves

Raissa Figueroa

Each spread pairs a child’s first-person statement with a different Black father and young child sharing an everyday activity. The fathers and children begin the day, eat, play, discover, study, grow, and fix things together. The families include dads of different ages, including one who wears hearing aids and another who uses a wheelchair. Across these ordinary moments, the book focuses on the affection and connection between fathers and their children.
