Because I'm Your Dad - A Heartwarming Father-Child Picture Book

Perfect for Father's Day and all year round, here is the breakout book celebrating all the silliness and sweetness that a dad can share with a child, illustrated by bestselling and award-winning artist Dan Santat!

Because I'm your dad, you can have spaghetti for breakfast, French toast for dinner, and rocky road ice cream in the bathtub!

This hardcover picture book captures the special bond between fathers and their children through playful, whimsical storytelling. Written by Ahmet Zappa as both a tribute to his legendary father, rock star Frank Zappa, and a promise to his own daughter Halo, this book resonates across generations.

Caldecott Medal-Winning Illustrations

Award-winning artist Dan Santat, creator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, brings the story to life with charming monster characters. His illustrations transform everyday moments into magical adventures, making each page a visual delight for children ages 4-8.

A Father's Promise

In a text that's both playful and loving, a father expresses his hopes and dreams for a one-of-a-kind relationship with his child. The book explores the silly, sweet, and sometimes unconventional ways dads show their love - from breakfast choices to bedtime routines. The moving ending pays tribute to the author's father, guaranteeing intergenerational appeal that makes this an ideal gift for new dads, Father's Day, or any celebration of family love.

Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and more...because that's what my dad did for me.
