For this little boy, having a daddy is like having his own personal giant. His daddy is so tall the clouds can rest on his shoulders. His sneezes are as powerful as hurricanes. And there’s no safer place to be than in a giant’s strong arms. The imaginative text expresses a toddler’s love and admiration for his father, and the bright, bold illustrations capture the gentle humor. This is a warm and lively celebration of fathers—those true giants among men.

About the Author:
Carl Norac is an established and hugely popular writer, with a number of bestselling children's books to his name. His books have an international appeal - MY DADDY IS A GIANT alone has been translated into over 30 languages. Carl loves to participate in school events and book fairs. MY DADDY IS A GIANT was inspired by his daughter and his own father, who is very tall! Ingrid Godon is one of Macmillan's best-loved illustrators, whose work has rapidly gained international acclaim. She has illustrated a number of highly successful picture books, including WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE BOO-HOO BABY? (978-0-333-73593-0), which has sold almost 150,000 copies worldwide. Ingrid lives in Belgium with her husband and three children.
From Publishers Weekly:
Daddy looms large both figuratively and literally in Norac's (I Love You So Much) ode to a father from a child's perspective. In Godon's (One Beautiful Baby) full-bleed spreads, father and child appear against a background of solid color, with clothing changes and one or two props (a scooter, a bench, falling leaves) indicating multiple venues and seasons. In the opening illustration, the child clings to his father's back and both face readers, smiling. Ensuing pages show them engaged in a variety of activities. When they play hide-and-seek, the child reports, "My daddy has to hide behind a mountain"; the illustration shows the father kneeling behind snow-capped conical shapes. On another spread they walk on pale sandy ground against a white sky, and when the father sneezes, "It's like a hurricane. It blows the sea away." In the bottom right corner, a crab, starfish and fish jump from turbulent waves, while pickets blow off a nearby fence. While the words convey the child's belief that daddy possesses extraordinary powers, the pictures demonstrate that daddy's true strength derives from his consistent, loving involvement in his child's life, whether cuddling, playing games or just being there. Children may enjoy this story's gentle humor best from the warmth of Daddy's lap. Ages 3-6. (May)
