Remember my “Happy Whisker’s Day” poem? Well, I got another excellent artist, Red Matias, to bring my poem to life! He’s gonna come up with this super manly animal characters, contrasted by the very playful and casual dad at the end. Every time an illustration arrives, I get so excited!

In case you weren’t able to read it last time, here was the poem I wrote for Father’s Day =)

Happy Whisker’s Day!

Whiskers on a fox,

Whiskers on a cat.

Whiskers on a walrus,

Whiskers on a rat!

Stiff and white whiskers,

Black, wiry ones, too!

Have you seen catfish whiskers?

Can you guess what they do?

Whiskers on the snout

Whiskers on the cheek

Whiskers on the eyes?

Now, isn’t that neat!

Whiskers are great

But one’s above the rest

Dad’s whiskers that tickle

For me, they are the best!

Happy Father’s Day!

Yey, I finished this poem before Father’s Day! So, yeah, it’s not going to be a belated greeting =) I wrote the poem, Happy Whisker’s Day, for my husband a.k.a. Greatest Dad Ever. I wanted to write about his stubble because he always uses it to tickle my daughter before she sleeps. My daughter, in between gasps and giggles, would always tell him to stop, but I think he enjoys it just as much as she does, so he pretends not to hear her. Seeing them like that is the highlight of my day. To all the fantastic fathers out there, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
