Father’s Day 2024: Our favourite Children's books celebrating the joys of Fatherhood
To all the super dads, father figures and grandfathers from across the globe, here at Austin Macauley, we are celebrating Father's Day with a list of our favourite books that bring fatherhood to the forefront.
Over the past week we have carefully selected a collection that contains a diverse depiction of fathers in stories. From enchanting stories featuring fathers as the heroes to heartfelt narratives that explore the bonds between fathers and their children, our list below showcases some of our most treasured works. So follow the links to take a deep dive into these pages and discover the magic of a father's love through the art of literature.
How often is it that we take the time to stop and listen to what our children have to say or are trying to tell us in their actions and behaviour?
These poems came about as result of time I spent with my son, playing with him, imagining with him, talking to him, and listening to him.
I hope that they also touch the hearts of all parents and children who can recognise a little bit of themselves in the narration.
Flying saucers, colourful planets, shining stars and erm... a playful game of hide and seek with aliens? Not your usual day at the park! But one that Lola and her trusty pooch Beau won’t forget in a hurry!
An intergalactic adventure for all to enjoy.

Then, with a sudden thud in the sand, the beachgoers were left in suspense. What was this penguin’s mission? The mystery was too intriguing to ignore, and the quest to uncover the truth began.
