What is Looking after daddy about?

A little girl takes her role as Daddy’s babysitter very seriously. She makes sure William eats, stays safe and gets plenty of exercise, while imagining all the exciting things he might become when he grows up—a lion tamer, astronaut or chocolate maker. But beneath her playful ideas is a simple truth: whatever he does, Daddy’s most important job is looking after her. This warm, funny picture book celebrates family love, imaginative play and the special bond between a father and daughter.
