Beth’s favourite time of the week is after dinner on Sundays when she sits down with her daddy and he does her hair. She’s choosing the style with particular care because next day is school photo day.
Daddy knows just what to do, expertly and gently parting her hair and the whole experience is a happy, loving treat. Next day she bounces into school knowing she looks great, and warm too in the knowledge of just how much her daddy loves her.
With a rhyming text that’s fun to read aloud and engaging illustrations this is a truly lovely celebration of a small moment full of meaning.
