A heartfelt message of love and appreciation for the guys who are always there for us--dads! The perfect gift for Father's Day, new dads, baby showers, and paternal figures everywhere.

Dear Dad,
You are my favorite dude.

...And so begins this sweet tale of appreciating fathers and the beautiful bond that they have with their children. A love letter to fathers everywhere, Dear Dad is an ode to the people in all of our lives who teach us invaluable life skills and look out for us.

Tender and beautifully illustrated, this picture book serves as a token of appreciation for the most important people in our lives, and is the perfect way to show dads everywhere just how much we love them.
"There's no one quite like Dad. . . the statements are simple but infused with affection--the kind of sentiments no father tires of hearing."--Kirkus Reviews
Natalie Lundeen grew up in Southern California and spent some time in beautiful Oregon before moving to Florida, where she currently lives with her daughter and the occasional alligator. She loves combining the textures of mixed media with digital techniques to create illustrations with fun personalities, inspired by her love of color, nature, and humor. When not working, Natalie finds new inspiration while bird watching at the beach or sketching at the local aquarium and at the never-ending parade of kids’ birthday parties. Natalie has illustrated multiple children’s picture books and licensed artwork for clients such as Design House Greetings, the Boston Children’s Hospital, Trader Joe’s, RecycleSmart, and Urban Play Interiors. Her work has also been featured in national magazines such as HGTV Magazine, Southwest Art, and Entertain & Celebrate. View titles by Natalie Lundeen
