Sweet Daddy-Daughter Read focused on Creativity
This sweet true story made me feel the love between nervous kindergartener Ava and her loving father, who makes clothes for her to feel confident. I love seeing a nurturing father who sews and how the daddy-daughter duo work as a team to achieve their goals in this story. This would be a great book for father's day, single dads, or dads who love creative endeavors. The art is vibrant with great kid-appeal and the letter in the back from the author about how he came to make these clothes adds to the message of the story-- that you can feel confident when you do the things you love and practice to do them well.

Sweet Father-daughter Story
Daddy Dressed Me by Michael Gardner is a wonderful story about a father-daughter relationship and how they rely on each other to get them through life’s trails. The illustrations by Nadia Fisher are gorgeous, especially the double-paged spread when Ava thinks of the kind of dress she wants. This would make a wonderful addition to any bookshelf. I received an Advance Readers Copy.

Sweet, Strong and Satisfying
One of the most refreshing Daddy-Daughter books I’ve ever read. This father is as individual as one gets. He expresses his love for his daughter by designing and sewing her dresses. The story takes place when they both have to stretch their skills in preparation for daughter Ava’s Moving Up Day to first grade. Co-authored by, and based on, the real father and daughter team, children and adults can view Ava Gardner modeling Michael’s creations on IG and their website. Nadia Fisher’s vibrant illustrations capture the love and joy in this father-daughter relationship beautifully. I felt it on every page. This story about a single dad and his daughter is uplifting and celebratory of individuality, teamwork, trying new things, how confidence grows from perseverance and most importantly the power of love.

A Sweet Story - Love, Patience, and Determination
In "Daddy Dressed Me," a father sews a dress for his daughter's special event. I love that this breaks stereotypes about sewing traditionally being a "woman's job." The story highlights the special bond between father and daughter and shows the reader the importance of patience and determination. The illustrations do a great job showing the love between parent and child.
