Books that Champion Motherhood

I am on a diligent quest to find comparable writing and stories about fatherhood. Thus far, my results are extremely limited. If anyone finds worthy titles to recommend, please let me know!

Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
Five Minutes Peace by Jill Murphy
Hazel’s Amazing Mother by Rosemary Wells
Heckedy Peg by Audrey Wood (one of my favorites!)
The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown

    How about Owl Moon by Jane Yolen? It’s a sweet story about a father who takes his child “owling” one winter night. It’s one of my favorites, and the pictures are beautiful! –Just a thought.
