A touching and heartfelt story about the special bond between father and child.



When I became your daddy,

you made my world complete.

I didn't know the little things

in life could be so sweet.



This beautiful, reassuring picture book celebrates the unconditional love a father has for his child. When I Became Your Daddy follows an otter and his pup as they explore rock pools, play in the sand, and float snuggled up together at night. A lyrical rhyming text by Susannah Shane is accompanied by gorgeous, digitally collaged cut-paper illustrations by Britta Teckentrup, with sophisticated silver foil detailing on the cover.



The fourth book in the When I Became Your . . . series. Past titles include When I Became Your Grandma, When I Became Your Grandpa, and When I Became Your Mommy.
