A touching yet amusing story about a boy's admiration for his dad - and his acceptance of his limitations.

T is part of a happy family, and he loves everything about them - especially his clever dad, who drives a taxi and can make anything you like out of wood. When T's teacher arranges for his dad to come into school to talk about what he does for a job, T should be as proud as proud. But there's one problem: his dad doesn't speak English. T worries and worries about what to do - does his teacher realize? Will everyone laugh at him because his dad can only speak Bengali? But T's dad is cleverer than T thinks. When he comes in to school anyway and does an amazing puppet show, T realizes that being the same as other people is not everything. His dad really is a hero!

Katharine McEwen

Katharine McEwen has been illustrating children's books for over 20 years, working with some wonderful authors including Allan Ahlberg and Michael Rosen.

After years of longing to illustrate a book about bears, she eventually bit the bullet and penned her own, Bear Hug, which was published in 2014. She lives in Kent and often seeks inspiration from the surrounding countryside.

Katharine is clueless about computers, so creates her artwork with gouache, watercolour, coloured pencils and paper collage.

As well as illustrating, Katharine is a mummy to her little boy, Finley, and when able, enjoys making ceramics, seeking out small adventures and exploring new places.
