Author & Illustrators
Lucy Freegard captures the father-child relationship through the eyes of a child. The story beautifully draws out Dad’s admirable qualities that the child wishes to emulate – his strength, silliness, courage and ability to deal with mistakes – not to mention the silly voices he does when he reads a bedtime story! A lovely book for Father’s day.
Sometimes children wish to be astronauts, artists or sports stars – and sometimes they wish to be just like their mums! This is the follow up to Just Like Daddy from Lucy Freegard and captures the parent-child relationship in a heartwarming way. The story beautifully draws out Mum’s positive qualities that the cub wishes to emulate – her ability to turn bad situations into good ones, her creativity, her kindness and her sense of humour – as well as celebrating the fun activities they enjoy together.
