Remembering Doo-Dad

Remembering Doo-Dad invites readers on a playful and poignant journey through the eyes of a young girl learning big lessons about love, life, and the memories that last forever.

Bara Swain's Remembering Doo-Dad is a heartfelt story of a young girl's memories of her beloved father, Doo-Dad. Through a series of tender moments and simple acts of love and care, the girl recalls the special bond they shared, from his thoughtful gestures and playful antics to his unwavering support. As she grows, she learns valuable lessons from Doo-Dad's kindness, creativity, and bravery, and continues to honor his memory, hoping to embody his loving spirit in her own life.

Bara Swain's award-winning stage plays have been performed across the U.S. and abroad. Inspired by her bereaved daughter's resilience after losing her father at a young age, Bara is grateful to take this journey with her beloved sister, illustrator Judith Caseley.

Judith Caseley has written and illustrated more than forty books for children. Remembering Doo-Dad is her first collaboration with her sister, Bara Swain. They continue to make each other laugh.
