Book Cover & Preview Text
She loves Nature like her Dad So when she’s sad or sleep-deprived, Daddy holds her in his arm: Head to head, and cheek to cheek Gently wiping every tear He puts those curls behind her ear, Then, softly whispers, “See the moon? Look! It shines among the stars, Silently follows our tracks, Always glowing in the dark, Giving night its magic light.” He then whistles his soothing dance: Rom-pom-pom Rom-pom-pom Rom-pom-pom Ti-ri-ri-ri-rom! And off she’ll drift to sleep at last.

About the Book
A father’s role in the upbringing of a child is a crucial one. Fathers can be as loving, nurturing, and devotional as mothers are. The values and principles acquired through certain life experiences become critical lessons they transfer to their offspring, enriching a child’s worldview. This book is a tribute to all dads, including my own, but it’s especially dedicated to the father of my children whose unconditional love, sacrificial spirit, and boundless energy for them has not only evoked love in our children but it has also inspired this book. Daddy’s Waltz is my title for a song he made up to help our sleep-fighting babies fall asleep.
