From Our Readers
- Natalie, mother of 3
I loved the image of the dad in the car with the conference call, the email about a sick kid, and the breast milk baggie when making a bottle. This feels like a very accurate, relatable portrait of our family experience and evolves the dated image of family dynamics into the 2020s where dual working families and caregiving are shared responsibilities.
It’s a great addition to the Sam Sliney children’s library for children and families exploring the nurturing roles of caregiving across the spectrum of lifestyles, encouraging a playful look at how love takes all shapes and sizes!
- Natalie’s 10 year old daughter
It is great! I liked how it's about dads taking care of their kids and everything they help with. My favorite was the dad in the car with the baby twins because he was driving and it reminded me of a home video I watched one time of daddy picking me up from daycare.
- Chris, dad of 2

A delightful read for children and parents alike, this book—like its predecessor—gently affirms that there’s no limit to what we can do.

- Melissa, mom of 3
As a mom of two with a wonderfully helpful husband, I found All the Things Our Daddy Can Do to be a heartwarming celebration of fatherly love and dedication. The vibrant illustrations and simple text capture the everyday moments—like trips to the doctor or cooking dinner—that make dads so special to their kids. Reading it was the perfect reminder of my own husband's contributions to our family. This book is a perfect tribute to the unsung heroes in our homes!
All The Things Our Mommy Can Do
An International Impact Book Award winner in the Female Empowerment, Women in Business and Leadership, and Children's Inspirational/Motivational categories and a Reader's Choice 5-star review recipient, "All The Things Our Mommy Can Do" is a must for children of all ages. It is told from the perspective of an older sibling watching their mother excel in her career while expecting their younger sibling.
It was created to challenge the idea that pregnancy is a limiting condition and to encourage children to believe in their ability to achieve anything, regardless of gender. The book celebrates the dual roles of parenthood and professional success, aiming to inspire children and break down barriers impacting their ability to achieve their dreams.

My 7-year-old daughter loved this unique book. I was especially impressed by the diversity of jobs represented. If you're looking for a gift for an older brother or sister, look no further.
