A Message from the author: Marvin Simms
Around the time my daughter was three years old I was reading to her when she blurted out "Daddy! How come our family is never in any of these books?" At that moment I didn't understand what she meant or what she was referring to until she asked the same question again....
I wish I could tell you I had a great philosophical response that I broke down to a 3 year old's understanding. But I didn't, in fact it was exact opposite. I was flustered, the question hit me like a ton of bricks, I knew that one day we would have a conversation about why mommy is a little different than daddy but I certainly did not expect that conversation to happen when she was 3 years old. So instead I told her I would have to find some books that had our family in it and moved onto reading the story....
