Review of Daddies and Daughters Stick Together by Aissatou Balde and Diariatou Sow, illustrated by Nandi L. Fernandez


Diari doesn’t mind when Mommy goes into the city for work, because she and her little sister, Fatima, get to spend the whole day with Daddy.

From when the moon trades places with the sun until the sun trades places with the moon, daddies and daughters do everything together.

A day with Daddy means cooking, learning, dancing, and playing. After all, Daddy knows that with a little imagination, a sense of fun, and a lot of love, every part of a normal day can feel special!

**My thoughts**
This book is so sweet and actually inspired fond childhood memories of time spent with my little sister and dad while Mom was away for work. A lot of kids may relate to this. And hopefully adults will relieve some of their own fond memories.

I love that there is a new book that embraces fatherhood. And I love that it is a Black father because they are very much underrepresented in children's literature.

The illustrations are my favorite part. They are vibrant and engaging. But the illustrator was also able to capture the mutual adoration on both Daddy's and daughters' faces.

This would be a great addition to a home or school/classroom library.

I received a requested review copy from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
