Parent and Teacher guide

“This is my Dad” is about the special relationship between a father and his child. It reflects the important role that a father plays in caring for and bringing up his offspring. In very few and simple words a little girl starts the story by mentioning animal fathers that look after their offspring. A penguin, a sea horse and a Marmaroun monkey. She then talks about her special relationship with her Dad, who is with her from the day she was born. This story reflects an atypical view of the Father role in our culture. It shows that a Dad’s role is not just about being a breadwinner, but how he also plays an important role in his children’s daily life.
