My Daddies!

Join a book-loving family - two gay dads and their adopted daughter - as they go on a roller-coaster-ride of story-themed adventures in this moving, magical, one-of-a-kind picture book.

A funny, heartfelt board book championing same-sex parents, inclusive families and the magic of reading!

Set off on a series of incredible adventures with an adorable family as the stories they read burst into fantastical life. Battle dragons, dodge dinosaurs, zoom to the moon and explore the world in a hot-air balloon, before winding down in a wonderfully cosy bedtime ending.

The bouncy, rhyming read-aloud text is brought to life by bestselling, award-winning illustrator Garry Parsons, illustrator of The Dinosaur that Pooped series.
