Daddy, I Just Want to Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798901830291)

Told through the eyes of a kindergartner, this sweet and funny story follows a young boy named Tony who doesn't quite understand his dad's obsession with football. Dad knows everything about the players on his favorite team-their names, numbers, and stats-but he calls Tony "Little Man" instead of using his real name.

Wondering if his dad has forgotten his name, Tony comes up with a plan: If football is what Dad loves most, maybe playing football will help his dad see him differently. So little Tony gives football a try. And although he's not very good at it, he experiences the game in his own imaginative way, giving it his all for his dad.

After Little Tony faces the biggest player on the field, the game ends without a victory on the scoreboard. But when little Tony's dad calls him by his name, the real win is how they've come to understand each other differently.
