Description
Can Being a Great Dad be Self-Taught?
Oliver never met his grandpa. He wonders what he would tell Grandpa if the two of them could meet, even once. Oliver decides that he would tell him about an amazing man that Grandpa never met: Oliver's dad, Grandpa's own son. In this touching and heartfelt story, you will be taken on a journey of what it means to be a dad and to be the master of your own destiny.
Note: This book was inspired by a real question the author's now 5-year-old son asked him over a year ago during bedtime (seen on the first page of the book).

Advance Praise
“Such a heartwarming book. Beautifully written and illustrated.”
– author/illustrator Eric Fan, from The Fan Brothers
“A touching title for good dads everywhere.”
– children’s librarian extraordinaire and author, Betsy Bird
"A heartwarming picture book about father-son love that carries from one generation to the next. The illustrations are gorgeous and charming."
– Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)
“A beautiful and compellingly different approach to celebrating fathers. Many picture books for kids explore love between fathers and sons but few are so specific, engaging, and realistically reflective as My Dad, My Rock. It should be critical, essential reading for any age who would better understand the important role of a father in the family. An exceptional read that is highly recommended.”
– Midwest Book Review
“A moving story to remind us that love is a form of deep noticing and that loving can very much be made up of new choices we make.”
– Kate Hoefler (author of Nothing in Common and of Rabbit and the Motorbike)
“An extremely heartwarming and soul-touching story. It is hard to describe the wonderful feelings you will get reading this book. Everyone should get a copy.”
– Reedsy Discovery (Starred Review)
“A heartwarming ode to fatherhood. A delightful book for sharing, and perfect for Father’s Day.”
– The Children’s Book Review
