Synopsis:

Oliver never met his grandpa.  He wonders what he would tell Grandpa if the two of them could meet, even once. Oliver decides that he would tell him about an amazing man that Grandpa never met: Oliver's dad, Grandpa's own son. In this touching and heartfelt story, you will be taken on a journey of what it means to be a dad and to be the master of your own destiny.

Watch Victor D.O. Santos, the author of My Dad, My Rock, talk a little bit more about the book and what inspired it:

The author: Victor D.O. Santos is a Latino (Brazilian), Iowa-based, award-winning author of 8 children’s books so far (click here for a full list). He is the father of two trilingual, multicultural, and grandfatherless children, whom he raises together with his Ukrainian wife. His books aim to inspire, warm the heart, and help raise loving adults with a healthy self-image. The idea for My Dad, My Rock came from an actual dialogue Victor had with his son one evening during bedtime. That dialogue can be found, word for word, on the first page of My Dad, My Rock. Victor is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Authors and Illustrators (SCBWI).

The illustrator: Anna Forlati is an Italian illustrator and is a professor of illustration in the prestigious illustration program Ars in Fabula, in Italy. She has illustrated over 30 children's picture books and has participated in several international exhibitions, including The Illustrators Exhibition at the Bologna Children's Book Fair (2014) and Illustrarte (2018). In 2018, she was the winner of the City of Chiavari Award for best illustration in a children's magazine.
