![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless of ethnicity, the father-daughter relationship is underrepresented in picture books (but luckily that is changing). This little book celebrates their love for each other. This is important because it isn’t depicted often, in all types of media. Formulaic, descriptive lines like “Ten small toes all washed and warm” create a comfortable feeling and little ones will enjoy going to bed with this book. I especially recommend this book in board book form because it is the perfect size for toddlers to hold. The cover illustration is very reminiscent of Goodnight Moon in composition. Her oil illustrations really shine and you can’t help but smile while looking at them. Molly Bang covers a lot of important basics here love, family, counting and warm illustrations. I’m a very visual person and the last time I’d seen this cover was when I very little. I’d completely forgotten about this book, and so, I set out to find it. While browsing the web, I saw the cover of this book and immediately had flashbacks. Image Credit: Tupelo Books (HarperCollins), Molly Bang ![]()
