The
Father's Day
Potato
A tender, funny picture book about families of every shape — and the love that grows them.
A story for every kind of family.
When six-year-old Sam is asked to make a “Father's Day Potato” at school, he feels confused and a little left out — because he doesn't have a dad.
Through a thoughtful conversation and a sunny day at the park with his mom, Sam discovers that families come in many shapes — and that love, not labels, is what truly matters.
A book that meets kids where they are.
Sam's story shows children who don't have a dad that they belong, fully and completely.
A gentle anchor for teachers navigating Father's Day projects with care.
A natural starting point for parents to talk about love, family, and difference.
Tender, funny, and never heavy-handed — written for hearts ages 4 to 8.
