Tim McGraw's "My Little Girl"

I recently enjoyed the new book by Tim McGraw and Tom Douglas. It's a sweet picture book that would be a great read aloud to a young girl up to about age 8 or so. It tells the story of Katie and the special day her dad has planned for them to spend together. Katie thinks they may attend a ball or travel to Africa, but her father shows her that simply spending the day together is what makes the day so special. The encouraging and edifying comments made by the father throughout the book are heart warming to Katie and this reader.
The artwork is colorful and appears to be pen/ink with watercolors. It enhances the story by introducing bright colors and precious facial expressions as Katie enjoys the day with her father. The last page is a lined journal page for an adult to write a special note, memory or "love you more" message. This is a great book for a father and daughter to share snuggled up and reading together. I think it would be a wonderful springboard for fathers to plan a special day with their young daughters just like Katie and her father did. A sweet follow up activity would be to create a book about the special day the dad and daughter spent together. What a precious memory for your little girl to keep as a reminder of her father's unconditional love.
Buy My Little Girl for your daughter or for a dad of a daughter....It's the perfect Christmas or Valentine's Day gift.
