Daddy Goes to Work
(a tale told in rhyme), his daughter proudly goes too. After breakfast, they travel on the subway, then '
walk past shops and stores
' and a street musician, into the lobby and up the elevator to dad's office.
H
is daughter is happy to see something from home in the room ... '
Hanging on the wall / Is a picture that I drew / Of Mommy, Daddy, and me / And Little Brother too.
' They eat lunch outside in the sunshine, walk in the park and play hopscotch, then she helps dad out with a presentation.
A
lmost home, she tells us, '
I'm so proud of Daddy / And all the work we've done.
' Jabari Asim tells a sweet story of father and daughter's joy in each other as she shares his work day, while Aaron Boyd's rich paintings bring the story's urban surroundings to vivid life.
