Charlie's Day Off

Once a year, Charlie’s dad surprises his son with a Day Off. Charlie doesn’t know when it will come or what they will do, but one thing is for sure—a day with Dad is going to be the best day ever! Charlie’s dad has a special tradition with his boys—first Wilbur, and now Charlie. Once a year and without notice, Charlie’s dad keeps Charlie home from school to have a day of fun. Whatever Charlie wants to do that day, Charlie gets! Sometimes he picks the State Museum, or maybe the Zoo, or even the Aquarium! No matter what, they always have to stop at the famous hot dog shop and later, go get ice cream. This year is just like the others—but what will Charlie pick? Inspired by the author’s own father and their “day off” together, Charlie’s Day Off demonstrates the beauty of spontaneity, family, and special moments. Charlie’s Day Off is an adorable, heartwarming picture book for children and parents to enjoy together. Specifically, fathers and their children, should they want to create their own traditions like Charlie and his father did! The picture book is a great pick for bedtime stories, a gift for new parents, or an everyday read on a child’s bookshelf. Read more
