I have such love for Andrew Daddo's picture books. The joyful relationship between the dad showering his gorgeous baby in this book is tangible. Emma Quay's illustrations are delightful. A gorgeous present for new bubs and parents :)

Wonderful tale of morning moments that every child can relate to. Great example of a father taking the lead parenting role. Deceptively simple. Beautifully illustrated in Emma Quay's classic style.
