You Can Do Anything, Daddy by Michael Rex

Read the book.
Craft/Activity: In this book, the boy is thinking of bad things that might happen to him. His father is figuring out how to save his son. I am giving each of you [adults and children] a piece of paper. On one side I want you to draw something you think of that is scary for you. On the other side I want you to think of something your Dad or a grownup could do to help you. It is all pretend, make-believe. What can you think of?
Aside: Having your children draw and then tell you about what they drew develops their narrative skills. It also gives us a window into their thoughts.
