Book Synopsis

From a NYT/NYPL Best Illustrated Book Award winner, a boy's questions turn the ordinary into extraordinary--if only his father will really see. Daddy, Look! is a warm, imaginative story about slowing down and discovering wonder, connection, and conversation when you choose to take the long way home.

Headed home from the park, a boy asks his father about the marvelous things he sees on their walk.

"Is that a tightrope walker?

A gnome?

An alien?"

"No. No. No."

Though frustrated with his dad's disengagement, the boy is not discouraged. Finally, the son demands that Daddy look beyond his limited view of their neighborhood and see the world in a different way. A wondrous world of what-ifs and why-nots is revealed. One that father and son explore together when they choose to take the long way home.

Award-winning creator Marcelo Tolentino illustrates how to find joy in the familiar and unlock deeper conversations and family connections.
