I love you, Dad.

Adapted by Maggie Testa, based on the screenplay “Something Special for Dad” written by Becky Friedman, poses  and layouts by Jason Fruchter.

《I love you, dad》is one of series of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. The story is about Daniel, Daniel is making something for Dad. Because making something is one way to say I love you.

Fathers seldom say I love you to their kids in the real life in China. Although they are really hardworking fathers , they don’t like to share their emotions with the family. In this story, Dad responded to Daniel gently. For instance, Daniel baked a cake for Dad, but the cake got smushed,  Dad still loved it, because it was from Daniel. Daniel made a picture for Dad, and Dad hung it up because it was a special present from Daniel. (I remembered, Simon had made a perfume satchel for his Daddy on Father’s Day. And Daddy said thank you to Simon and hung it up in his car. )At the end of the story , Dad said “ you are so special to me.”to Daniel. I think children will get the idea of how much their daddy always loves them. Encourage children to say I love you to their daddy frequently.

I could make up a song to say I love you.

And I would sing right along, because I love you, I care.

Making something is one way to say I love you. I could bake a cake to say I love you, I care. And even if it got smushed, I’d still love it because it was from you.

Making something is one way to say I love you. I could make a picture to say I love you, I care.

And I would hang it up, because it is  so special to me.

You are so special to me.

I love you,Dad.

The end.
