My Dad Can reassures children that a parent’s wheelchair doesn’t change who they are.  Iris's dad is the best. He blows up her floaties when she wants to go swimming. He covers her eyes when they watch scary movies. Best of all, she loves that she can climb into his lap for warm cuddles.  Her dad is amazing.   But sometimes they meet people who can't see what she sees, and today is one of those days . . .

 A heartwarming picture book about a young girl who learns that her dad's wheelchair doesn't define what he can or can't do, perfect for sparking meaningful conversations that celebrate inclusion.
