Thanks for including a book that calls a father figure “Papa.” That’s what we say and I look for books that say the same for my daughter because everyone else says “Daddy” around here. Since I began searching those out, I’ve come across some excellent books about Papas. I think these three deserve a mention: The Apple Pie That Papa Baked by Lauren Thompson (this repetitious rhyme book is a great challenge for toddlers ready to fill in words from memory and it teaches respect for nature and subtly rebuts gender-role conditioning), I love My Pirate Papa by Laura Leuck (this Papa’s choices do not make a traditional childhood for his son but the two make the most out their environment together, and it’s a fun one to read), and, finally, Papa’s Mechanical Fish by Candace Fleming (about a large family with a work-at-home Papa, this one encourages creative problem-solving, speaking ideas, perseverance, and patience while waiting for Papa).
