Daddy's Favorite Sundae - Grantham, Dawn

When Sundae's friends ask her to join them riding bikes, she stays behind because her bike still has training wheels, but Sundae feels much safer with them on. Instead, she busies herself with finding colorful rocks and making up rhymes. But when snarky Junior and Journey make fun of Sundae for playing alone and about her babyish bike, she becomes determined to prove them wrong. Learning to ride without training wheels is not as easy as she thought it would be, but with her dad's help and her own self-belief and determination, she is soon riding like a pro and all the neighborhood kids-including Junior and Journey-cheer for Sundae with respect for her perseverance and grit. Sundae is thankful to the Lord for giving her the strength to succeed and to her dad for his unwavering support. Vibrant illustrations by Demont Pinder bring to life the energy and optimism of Grantham's story. Families and educators alike will welcome an opportunity to have a storytime dialogue about the power of believing in oneself and positive relationships. Daddy's Favorite Sundae is the follow-up title to the well-received Grandma's Favorite Sundae, combining playful and positive storytelling with light prayer.
