What IS your dad doing in there all day?Ola's dad works in the room down the hall. The door shuts. The red sign goes up. And then he says the strangest things."Let's take this offline." (He's underwater. Negotiating with sixteen lawyers. They're all eels.) "I'll circle back." (On a whale. Obviously.) "I've been putting out fires." (There's a dragon. It says sorry.) "I've got a hard stop." (A WALL?! Is Dad going to HIT it?!)There's only one way to find out what's really behind that door.Ola is going in.A funny, rhyming read-aloud about closed doors, big imaginations, and lunch that always comesMillions of children now live with a grown-up who works a few steps away and somehow isn't available. My Dad Fights Dragons (probably) turns that daily puzzle into a joke a child can be in on - and then, gently, into something they can use.Because behind the door is just Dad. At a desk. In a chair. With numbers in boxes. No lava. No bear. And a deal worth making.Inside you'll find: - A bouncing rhyming text built for reading aloud - with words your child will shout back by the third reading - THE DAD-WORD DICTIONARY - a translation guide to everything grown-ups say on calls - Ola's Three Waiting Tricks, written for the kid, not the grown-up - A note for grown-ups on making working from home easier for everyone in the house - A door sign your family can copy onto your own door Ola is six, wears glasses, uses a bright purple wheelchair with rainbow spokes, and has a Nigerian dad, a Filipina mum who drives the number 42, a great-aunt who does the braiding, and a dog with a full meeting schedule. None of it is the point of the story. All of it is simply her family - the kind of everyday representation children deserve to find in books without it being a lesson.Perfect for ages 4-8, remote-working families, hybrid households, and anyone who has ever been interrupted mid-meeting by someone who really, urgently needed to know whether fish have knees.
