About the Author:
Ingrid Godon is one of Macmillan's best-loved illustrators and her work has rapidly gained international acclaim. Her first picture book for Macmillan, WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE BOO-HOO BABY? (0 333 73593 5) was hugely succcessful and translated into 10 languages. Her most recent book, HELLO, SAILOR (0 333 99290 3) received an amazing amount of press coverage. 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)
