My dad is good at:
Making mazes

My Amazing Dad represents the modern-day family whose dad may not necessarily be the breadwinner. My Amazing Dad captures the qualities of a devoted and loving dad who understands the magic of being a child and that traditional gender roles aren’t always right for everybody.
Tom Jellett, illustrator of My Amazing Dad, is also an award winning children’s book illustrator.
My Amazing Dad sounds a lot like my Dad and my children’s dad, not very handy around the house but excellent in turning the everyday into something less mundane. And that’s is why we love dad.
