A sensitive story about nine-year-old Larry Dickson who seems to face all the problems in the world including the teasing of others because of his thick glasses, taunting by a bully, and a stepmother who shows little affection for him. To make matters worse his dad never has time for him. Be My Daddy is a sensitive portrayal of the traumas of growing up from a child's eyeview. No little angel, Larry is a kid like most and like most of us Larry has to find his way out of the labyrinthine world of childhood. Along the way he learns an important truth: life holds some rewards even when things seem bleakest. He also learns that although grownups may be tough on him sometimes, they do care very much about him.
