A playful celebration of fatherhood

Ahmet Zappa frames the bond between father and child through the small freedoms and affectionate promises of family life: unusual meals, bathtub ice cream, and a parent’s hopes for a distinctive relationship. Dan Santat’s illustrations feature whimsical monster characters, giving the book’s family theme a playful visual setting. The description also notes a closing tribute to Zappa’s father, Frank Zappa, linking the parent-child bond across generations. The result is a picture book centered on shared silliness, care, and the ways family experiences can carry forward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children and families seeking a read-aloud about fathers and children.
  • Families interested in picture books that pair playful scenarios with affection and family connection.

Book overview

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!

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's ending, a moving tribute to the author's father--legendary rock star Frank Zappa--guarantees intergenerational appeal, and award-winning artist Dan Santat (The Adventures of Beekle) brings the fun and endearing scenes to life with whimsical monster characters.

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.
