Dad’s Beard — Anton Shapka

At the heart of the story is an ordinary dad who has not just a beard, but an entire universe on his face. For the little hero (or heroine), Dad’s beard isn’t just hair—it’s a place for exploration, play, and imagination.

What can you find in Dad’s beard?

Lost cookie crumbs or Lego pieces.

A hiding place for little secrets.

An enchanted forest where microscopic creatures might live.

A soft pillow that’s so nice to snuggle up to.
