About The Book
Baby!
High five!
Down low!
You ready?
Let’s go!
Dads got moves! Dads got grooves. From shoulder rides to sleepy time snuggles, dads have their own special relationships with their babies, their own way of showing their great big love for one another, and those beats, those boogies, those moments together will live in their hearts forever.

Raves and Reviews
Working in textured acrylic paint, colored pencil, and collage, Qualls portrays the twosomes with various skin tones and hair textures; incorporates kinetic-feeling movement that tracks with the text; and includes background bubbles, stars, and wafting ribbons that seem to represent music and sound. In equally energetic words, McGhee celebrates unconditional love, not just for an infant’s actions or potential, but for their existence in the present moment. Singing, yelling, and dancing, each adult hints, it’s all “already perfect to me.”
