Beto’s Burrito — by Cassie McDaniel

A simple story, beautifully illustrated, about a young boy who does not wish to wake up from his extraordinary dreams. There are flying popsicles, skateboarding dogs, and all the other things that tend to occupy the minds of little ones.

It’s a picture book that is big at heart. Cassie never knew her father growing up, so when they rekindled their relationship a few years ago, she was surprised to learn that he had written a children’s book. She illustrated a single page as a Christmas gift, and then kept going. It took her a year to complete the fourteen illustrations that appear in the finished book, and she now talks to her father every weekend. She’ll publish the book because “I know it’s important to him, so that makes it important to me.”

Here’s to you, Dad.
