'Dear Daddy' Book for Dads
Personalised Book for Dad - A Father’s Day Keepsake Book
A personalised book for dad that celebrates the unique bond between a father and his child - a meaningful keepsake gift to treasure for years to come.
Perfect as a personalised Father’s Day book, birthday gift or special surprise, this story captures the connection, growth and shared journey between a dad and his children.
'Dear Daddy' is a beautifully illustrated, personalised keepsake book that reflects on the relationship between a father and his child. It celebrates the lessons a dad teaches:
- How to be brave
- How to try again
- How to see the world with curiosity
But it also gently reminds us of something just as important - children teach their dad too:
- Patience
- Perspective
- How to slow down
- How to see things differently
Written as a heartfelt reflection, this personalised book for dads honours the everyday moments that shape that bond, the shared laughter, the quiet pride and the sense of belonging that deepens over time.
Each personalised book for dad is customised to make it completely unique. It can include:
- Up to four children’s names
- Dad’s name
- Dad’s job
- Where the family lives
This personalised book is ideal for:
- A Father’s Day gift
- A birthday gift for dad
- A personalised gift from children
- A meaningful keepsake for families
Why I created this book, from author and illustrator Lucy Tapper: I created Dear Daddy because fatherhood is not a one-way journey. Dads teach their children how to step into the world. But children quietly reshape their dads too. I wanted to write a story that honours both sides of that relationship. The strength and the softness. The teaching and the learning. A way of recognising that being a dad is something that grows alongside your child.I loved depicting Dad as a protective raccoon with his cute little kit(s) by his side.

Perfect presentReviewed by Bex.v.mills on 31 Jul 2023
I bought this personalised book as my husband often doubts on his abilities as a dad. This book was perfect, it hit just the right tone and the children love sitting down to read it with daddy at least once a day!
