In year’s past, I’ve wrapped a picture book or two for one of my children to present on Father’s Day, a symbolic gift of special times between them. Alan Lawrence Sitomer’s new picture book Daddies Do It Different depicts a wacky daddy whose silly antics just might hit close to home for some families.
From getting dressed, to going grocery shopping, to just playing around at home, the curly-haired little girl in this story recognizes the different ways her parents approach every day situations. While her mommy tends to be more organized and orderly, her daddy has a unique way about him that makes her giggle often. While I would have preferred the father to have been shown demonstrating a bit more responsibility in at least one scenario, I can clearly see the joy that the girl and her father have together. In several of the colorful, busy illustrations, both Mommy and Daddy can be seen spending time with their daughter in fun family environments– playing at the park, cooking in the kitchen, and preparing for bedtime. No matter their individual parenting styles, it’s obvious that this family loves each other.
This Father’s Day, you can recognize the silly Daddy in your children’s lives with the fun picture book Daddies Do It Different. In addition, you can download a special Father’s Day card with artwork from the book. Let the giggling begin!

Looks like a great book to share with my daughters because they sure know Daddies do it differently! And sometimes that’s a good thing to celebrate!
A wonderful giveaway which is ideal. Thanks.
So cute for fathers day.
Thanks for the nice review of my new book. The way dads today are so actively involved in their kids lives really represents a seismic shift from prior generations. Of course, it sets the table for fun, laughs warmth and love. This book was a ton of fun to write and I am thrilled with how well it’s been received. Keep up the great work… I love this blog!
