Bright Start Feel Better Daddy A story about empathy Nancy Loewen Hazel Michelle Quintanilla 9781786033048 Books Reviews

• This is such a sweet story. A little girl realizes her daddy is not feeling well as a cold is brewing inside of him. His nose is red, his eyes are sleepy and he starts sneezing. She recognizes that he is not feeling well and takes it upon herself to become daddy for the day! "Taking Care of Daddy" is part of Bright Start; a touching new series of board books which combines charming stories with adorable illustrations to nurture emotional intelligence and this book does just that.
  
  This loving little daughter reads to her daddy, becomes his snuggle bunny at nap time, and tends to his every need. The book is teaching a lovely life lesson on empathy to wee ones. Adorable illustrations are kid-friendly and relatable. The 10 page board book will be well received by that age group. The little superhero helps nurse her daddy back to health because right from the get-go she empathises with his malady. It's a win-win situation for both and a celebration of love and caring. Highly recommended.
• 'Bright Start - Feel Better Daddy A story about empathy' with words and illustrations by Nancy Lowen is part of a series aimed at teaching emotional intelligence to the very young.
  
  Daddy is very sick and his daughter wants him to feel better. She makes him soup out of his favorite things (was that an ice cream cone sticking out of the soup?). She reads and snuggles, and soon daddy feels better.
  
  The series is aimed at 1-3 year olds, and I think the cute pictures and short sentences will captivate young readers. I feel like the very young do have a sense of empathy, but it never hurts to cultivate it as a skill. The world could use more empathy.

• In Bright Start - Feel Better, Daddy, every parent will be able to relate to the situation of being sick when a child is not.
  
  When the daughter realizes Daddy is sick and needs to rest, she decides to take over being the parent. She attempts to make soup with foods Daddy likes (including carrots and ice cream -- no word on whether or not he actually samples it), entertains him with reading and acting out books, and generally finds ways to occupy herself and allow Daddy to rest in his chair.
  
  This is a simple story with a sweet message about empathy.

• I love this book! It is so sweet and caring and demonstrates empathy without being preachy.
  
  Daddy is sick and his daughter wants to make him feel better. The child who listens to this picture book will see all that she tries...does daddy feel better in the end? Is he ready to be the usual daddy again? Adults may know but children will love finding out.
  
  The illustrations as you can see from the cover are simple yet very appealing. I enjoyed looking at the little girl, her dad and I adore the dog.
  
  Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a lovely book about what happens when a parent is sick and how a child might help. The opinions are my own.
• A little girl feels bad her dad is sick, so she dons his glasses and tie, grabs his briefcase, and says she’ll be the daddy today. Food, reading and other things are offered to make him feel better.
  The characters have small bodies with big heads, and are basically sketches done in black, white, and orange, which is really interesting to me, because orange is my favorite color.
  If there’s a reason for this book to have been written, it’s so kids will learn to give parents a break.
  All in all, it’s just cute.

• This precious 10 page board book is so cute.
  
  This is a sweet story about a little girl whose daddy isn't feeling well and her attempts to fill in the gaps for him that day. She is also very empathetic to his situation, which is such an important lesson for littles.
  
  The illustrations are beyond charming and I feel would be very approachable for toddlers. I highly recommend!
• Adorable story about Daddy getting sick and his daughter taking care of him for the day. Great for ages 1-5 to help them learn empathy and to understand that parents get sick and need taking care of too! I also love that this story highlights the father.
  
  Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
• A cute little young children's book about empathy and sympathy. Very simple for a toddler to understand, with sweet pictures, showing a little girl trying to think of all the things that make her feel better when she's sick, and doing them for her Dad. Recommend for small toddlers.
