Did you see me, Dad: For every child who looks to the stands (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242584174)

Did You See Me, Dad...? is a tender, beautifully honest story about a young boy named AJ who wants nothing more than for his dad to notice the moments that matter most. Like so many kids, AJ plays his heart out on the field. Hoping, wishing, searching the crowd for the one face that means everything to him. Like so many hardworking parents, Dad is doing his best to balance long days, real responsibilities, and the quiet ache of wanting to be everywhere at once.

Through missed games, surprise visits, big swings, and small victories, AJ begins to understand something deeper than he ever expected: love doesn't disappear just because someone can't always be there. It doesn't fade with distance or get lost in busy schedules. Real love - the kind that holds families together - stays close, steady, and strong, even when life pulls people in different directions.

Told with warmth and emotional clarity, this story captures the everyday reality of modern families: the juggling, the longing, the guilt, the hope, and the moments of connection that make it all worthwhile. With expressive illustrations and heartfelt writing, Did You See Me, Dad...? invites readers of all ages to slow down and feel the quiet magic of being seen, supported, and loved.

This book is for every child who has ever looked for their parent in the stands. For every parent who has ever wished they could be in two places at once. And for every family doing their best to show up, even when "showing up" looks different than expected.

A gentle, uplifting reminder that love doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. It just has to be real.
