Daddy Would be Proud! Kirsten Brandsma Hughes

Every child asks their parent "what was it like when you were little?" I instinctively knew my brother's twins wouldn't be any different. Only their father passed away before they were born. As a way to grieve, I began writing down memories from when my brother and I were kids. Pretty quickly, I realized I had enough for a book. I decided I couldn't let these stories go untold. Fifteen cherished memories are in this book. As if Daddy is telling each story himself, the book is an important glimpse into their father's life and what helped shape him into the amazing man he was. It's undeniable that there is a universal message and truly for ANY child to enjoy and learn something from. Bringing to life a simpler time where every adult reader may often find themselves reminiscing their own childhood. It is important to note that the cover and many of the delightful illustrations are by a former student of my brothers. He was a beloved math teacher in Florida for over 20 years. This entire book was a labor of love that I cherished creating and I hope you enjoy it! A sequel is coming in 2020!
