Book-July-Reads-Daddy-is-my-Hero

Daddy is My Hero
Written by: Dawn Richards
Illustrated by: Jane Massey

Although Dad may look ordinary in every way, he is more than extraordinary through the eyes of his son. Daddy can cook, clean, bathe and play with him, but with a little imagination can do so much more. He’s a Sheriff locking up outlaws, a Knight battling dragons, and an Alien-fighter warding off extraterrestrials in his spaceship. There really is nothing Daddy cannot do! But not only is daddy a super hero in every way, he makes sure to read his son a story every night, makes him laugh when he feels sad and will always be there to love him, look after him and care. A sweet and heartwarming book about everyone’s first hero, their father.

The Swimmers
Written by: Joanne O’Callaghan
Illustrated by: Kori Song

Henry and his dad love to swim all over Hong Kong. The Swimmers is a beautiful story about a father and son who share a love and passion for swimming. Henry admires his dad’s hard work and dedication to the sport and cheers him on at the big race in Deep Water Bay. The duo explore all the swimming outposts Hong Kong has to offer, but take time out to have a bit of fun while doing so. They camp in Long Ke Wan, build sand castles at Shek O Beach and even visit the public pools for a ride on the slides. Most importantly, Henry feels happy and free swimming with his father and that’s where he wants to be.
