"A book that encourages deeper relationships between dads and their kids. The book is an excellent choice for storytime and an emotional conversation starter." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A heartfelt celebration of the bond between father and child. In You Are My Favorite Story, award-winning authors Shani M. King and N. Jeremi Duru captures the wonder, joy, and tenderness of fatherhood. From bedtime whispers to after-school reunions, this moving picture book, vividly illustrated by John Jay Cabuay, gives voice to the everyday emotions that define fatherhood; love, pride, fear, and hope. More than just a story, it serves as a conversation starter, helping fathers put words to their feelings and inviting children to share their own. With lyrical, reassuring prose, it reminds families to cherish the small moments and strengthens the bonds that last a lifetime.
