My Dad, The Hero: Walker Stories Series
By Stella Gurney
Illustrated by Katharine McEwen
A touching yet amusing story about a boy’s admiration for his dad and acceptance of his limitations.
T is part of a happy family, and he loves everything about them -- especially his clever dad. When T’s teacher arranges for his dad to come into school to talk about what he does for a job, T should be as proud as punch. But there’s one problem: his dad doesn’t speak English. T worries about what to do, but his dad is cleverer than he thinks. When he comes in to school and does an amazing puppet show, T realises that being the same as other people is not everything. His dad really is a hero!
- Perfect for Father’s Day.
- Covers age-old themes of family relationships, bullying and concerns about fitting in.
