Father’s Day is already less than two weeks away!

If you are looking for a fun gift or card for kids to make this Father’s Day, you can check out 15 DIY Father’s Day gifts and cards that I compiled for Hands On As We Grow.

If you are looking for children’s books about dads, then keep reading! With so many options to choose from (a total of 55), I hope you are able to find at least one that fits your needs.

Many of these books are available at my library according to the online library catalog; however, I did not check them all out and preview them ahead of time like I have done in the past.
