Push Me Dad.
A heartfelt poem children can read to their fathers — written as both a gift and a gentle invitation. Push Me Dad is the swing in the backyard, the hand on the back, the steady voice that says I'm here.
For some families, this book becomes a celebration. For others, it becomes the door back into a conversation that has been closed for far too long.
A book for every family table.

More than words on a page.
Opens conversation
The poem gives children language to say what they need from their dads — and gives fathers permission to listen.
Encourages accountability
Without shame or lecture, the book invites fathers into deeper presence and consistency.
Strengthens connection
Reading it together becomes a ritual families return to — at bedtime, on birthdays, on hard days.
Use this book as a conversation starter between fathers and children.
Read it slowly. Read it together. Pause at the lines that hit hardest. Ask each other what they mean. That's where the work happens — and where the bond gets rebuilt.
