Dad will clean it up

In the picture book 'Papa Cleans Up', a cheerful child is all too eager to help with everything Dad does. But all that well-intentioned 'helping' actually creates a lot more cleaning up for Dad! Luckily, at the end of such a long day, a warm bubble bath and a fun bedtime story await.

This picture book by debut picture book author Angel Dike is strong in its simplicity and relatable for all parents with young children. It is written from the child's perspective, in simple terms and with much repetition. The sweet illustrations by Ebony Glenn perfectly capture the warm father-toddler relationship.

'Papa Cleans Up' is a read-aloud book ideal for toddlers who are just starting to talk. This picture book has a simple but strong concept that plays with traditional gender roles and has a sweet and funny ending for bedtime. This is a fun book for fathers (or mothers) to read aloud to children aged 2 and up.
