If I could meet my grandpa,
this is what I would tell him …
When I grow up, I want to be like my dad.
Oliver has never met his grandpa, and neither has his dad.
In this heartwarming book, Oliver imagines telling his grandpa about the most important person in his life—the man who teaches him to live with joy and feel deeply.
A moving ode to parenthood, the bonds we share with our children, and the ways we shape their lives.

‘A beautiful and compellingly different approach to celebrating fathers. Many picture books for kids explore love between fathers and sons but few are so specific, engaging, and realistically reflective as My Dad, My Rock. It should be critical, essential reading for any age who would better understand the important role of a father in the family. An exceptional read that is highly recommended.’
