Description

A father and daughter go out to surf at dawn in this touching, visually striking ode to the bond between parent and child.

We are the Dawn Patrol when waves wrap around us,
like one of Dads giant bear hugs.

Waking with the first glimpse of sun, a father and daughter set out together for the shore, donning wetsuits and laughing as their giant shadows stretch out before them. For this duo, the cherished routine means watching with awe as surfers glide on waves like brushstrokes across canvas. It means just enough encouragement to turn nervousness into excitement; it means wiping out and trying again and again. But the Dawn Patrol is about more than spending time on the water. Its about making memories out of the smallest moments; about always finding ways to be together, no matter how busy life gets or what the passing days and years may bring. With stunning artwork and a tender text, Rob Sayegh Jr. celebrates the parent-child bond and the little things that add up to a lifetime of love. Its a story just right for lap-sharing, and an ideal gift for Fathers Day, Valentines Day, or any day.
