BECAUSE I’M YOUR DAD BY AHMET ZAPPA
In Ahmet Zappa’s first picture book for children, Because I’m Your Dad, a dad like no other promises to give his kid a childhood like no other.
Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to life and keep the book universal. The book's ending, a moving tribute to the author's father, guarantees intergenerational appeal: “Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and more…because that's what my dad did for me.”
Both a tribute to his happy childhood and a promise to his daughter, Halo, for a one-of-a-kind relationship, “I wrote this book for anyone who is a father, has a father, or hopes to someday be a father,” says Zappa. A perfect book to read on Father’s Day, or any day.

In the “Ricky’s Dream Trip” book series, Ricky and PopPop go on adventures together in Ricky’s dreams, visiting far away places and long ago times.

The books are a labor of love the real-life PopPop, Bill Stevenson, created for his grandson Ricky.
