I discovered this book quite by accident after I had already wallpapered/decorated my daughters room with the coordinating paper that the author also designs. I've read this book to my daughter, with my daughter and now she reads it to me. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart as it seems to have been written about us. EXCELLENT book.

This book is amazing!! I give it 5 stars up. It touched me soo much. I mean we as kids never realize how fast our lives go by. We think it takes a thousand years but to our parents it goes by so fast, i mean one day were a baby coming home from the hospital and the next were getting married and leaving the house. Its about a fathers story of his daughters life and how he sees it. It starts off when she comes home from the hospital and ends at her wedding. This book was inspired by a song by Bob Carlise and even though im only 14 i have already picked it to be my father-daughter dnace song at my wedding! I think everyone should read it!!!

The song butterfly kisses is difficult to listen to without crying. There is something beautiful about the love of a father who cares for his daughter. This is a book for little girls who are "daddy's little girl." The full song is published in the front of this book.

Bob Carlisle is well known for co-writing the song "Butterfly Kisses" with Randy Thomas as a birthday surprise for his then sixteen-year-old daughter. What a dad!

"You were my precious daughter, and I loved you from the bery beginning. I fluttered my eyelashes on your warm cheek. You smiled at me and fluttered right back. That's how Butterfly Kisses started..."

The art of Sally Huss brightens up the text. You see pictures of when a daughter draws a creative picture of her dad and he thinks it looks like a potato head or when his daughter is an angel in the Christmas pageant and how on the dad's birthday the daughter bakes her dad a cake with licorice and jelly beans.

Then the daughter starts to grow up and the dad feels sad that he is going to lose his little girl one day. But he thanks God for her.

Cute book for any little girl who loves her daddy.

Four years ago we purchased this book as a gift for our friends when they had their second baby girl. As I read a few of the stories in the bookstore I had to swallow deep to hold back tears. I was touched by the thoughtfullness of the stories, relationships and memories. Now as my husband will be celebrating his first Father's Day as a loving father of our new baby girl I couldn't think of anything more special to give him than this book. I am so pleased I found it.
