Tuesday Is Daddy's Day

A charming look at the many forms a happy family can take--whether she's with Mommy at her house, or with Daddy and his partner Harry at their apartment, this little girl always knows she's loved.

The little girl in this story loves her busy routine. Some days Mommy picks her up at school and they walk to her house. Other days, she and Daddy take the bus to the apartment he shares with his partner. She has two rooms, two homes, and one big, loving family. (Even if both her parents make her eat broccoli--yuck!)

But when Mommy comes to pick her up on Tuesday, the little girl gets upset. Tuesday is Daddy's day, and she doesn't like surprises! She wonders and worries and insists change is the worst thing ever. . . . . Until Daddy shows up with the best surprise ever: a new puppy!

Celebrating LGBTQ+ parents, coparents who live apart, and the shared love that keeps families together no matter where they live, Tuesday is Daddy's Day is a sweet story perfect for sharing during Pride month and year-round. With a message about appreciating everything you have and being open to change, paired with bright, kid-friendly illustrations reminiscent of crayon drawings, this is a great title to share with the young readers you love.

Inspired by his own experiences raising his family, best-selling author-illustrator Elliot Kreloff writes from the heart, creating a story that's sure to resonate with readers.
