Father’s Day is a few days away. Listed are some fantastic picture books about fathers (one is about a loving granddad). These are great reads for observing the special day that comes around every year on the third Sunday in June. Two of the books will be released in June but after Father’s Day. Every day, however, is a good day to show love and remembrance. For more picture book selections, check out these past posts: 9 Picture Books For Father’s Day and Celebrating Dads: 20 Books for Father’s Day.
