Your Dad is the best.<\/p>\n

He gives great hugs, first of all. He teaches you things, fixes what\u2019s broken, and he likes to play with you sometimes. Dad works hard, he\u2019s really smart, and he picks great books to read before your bedtime, books like these\u2026<\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t like to go camping with Dad? In the new book, You Make the World<\/em> by M\u00faon Thi V\u0103n, illustrated by Ph\u00f9ng Nguy\u0207n Quang & Huynh Kim Li\u00ean<\/strong> (Orchard Books, $18.99), a young child goes out in nature with their father, and learns a few things about what makes the world go \u2018round \u2013 at least, in Dad\u2019s eyes. It\u2019s a book that sings with joy and love; but it will also help your child understand that emotions actually mean something. Just don\u2019t be surprised if this sweet little story makes Dad tear up a bit because it\u2019s that kind of book. You Make the World<\/em> is perfect for bedtime, and it\u2019s great for kids ages three-to-seven.<\/p>\n

Another book full of love is Love, Dad: Inspiring Notes from Fathers to Kids<\/em> by Dr. Joel Warsh and Andrew Gardner, illustrated by David Elmo Cooper<\/strong> (Random House, $14.99). Here, authors Warsh and Gardner asked \u201clots of dads\u201d what they wished their kids knew, and what they \u201choped to teach their kids.\u201d It starts with the words, \u201cWhen you grow up, I hope you\u2026\u201d <\/em>and the rest of the sentences are warm, loving, funny, inspiring, empowering and good for kids of any age. Read this book now to your five-to-seven-year-old, then make it a tradition by reading it every year for the next five or 10 years.<\/p>\n

And finally, if you\u2019re looking for something your Dad might love to read, or if you\u2019re a father yourself, consider Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power<\/em> by Augustine Sedgewick<\/strong> (Scribner, $30).<\/p>\n

\u201cBy any measure, fatherhood is one of the most meaningful concepts in human culture,\u201d the author says, but it can also be filled with aspects that today\u2019s society might find oppressive, to one degree or another. For example, the idea that men must provide for and protect partners and offspring has been around a long time \u2013 though it\u2019s changed and adapted with modern attitudes, feminism, and other forces. You\u2019ll see it through Sedgewick\u2019s portraits of influential, powerful men throughout history, men who happened to be fathers.<\/p>\n

This is a thoughtful, aha! kind of book for the dad who wants to read something different, for an older teen who\u2019d like a history of an unusual sort, or for Mom, who wants a peek into the other side of parenting.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s more to being a Dad than biology, and there are more books on the subject at your favorite bookstore or library. To find them, you just need to step inside and ask for books on being a Dad, being a child with a Daddy, or getting to know the man who was your father. Indeed, your librarian or bookseller can help you find the Father\u2019s Day books that are the best.<\/p>\n
