My Dad Can
My Dad Can is a children’s book that celebrates all the wonderful things “my dad” can do, regardless of his circumstances. He can do some clever things, some practical things, some fun things – all sorts of things!
Our attitude, not our disability determines how we live and even though there are things we can’t do, there are many things we CAN. Enjoy this motivational story and explore the world of “I can”.
About the Author
I am a busy mum of two teenage boys. My husband is a 14/5 paraplegic and I am constantly amazed at the number of things he CAN do even though he only has use of his arms. After being in a wheelchair for over 30 years, he still finds the energy and ability to interact with our boys. Being in a chair harldy holds him back! One night, while dinner was simmering on the stove, I decided to put pen to paper. I wanted to focus on all the wonderful things my husband can do instead of dwelling on the things he can’t.
We do many things together as a family and don’t let the “cannots” spoil our fun. Our two amazing boys are always helpful, energetic and full of love for both of us as their parents. They don’t judge us on our abilities or inabilities.
