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 when a little boy points out his wheelchair at the park, Iris is sad until dad reminds her that he's just like everyone else, regardless of his wheelchair. 

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 - he will always be her amazing dad.
