The Day We Became Daddy's Helpers
by Q’s Winning Words Bookstore
The day Dad got sick… everything changed. But something else happened that day, too.
Two brave kids discovered something powerful — that love can help in the biggest ways.
In The Day We Became Daddy’s Helpers, children learn that helping doesn’t always mean fixing everything. Sometimes it means reading a story, telling a silly joke, holding a hand, or simply being there.
Through warmth, courage, and family love, this touching story reminds readers that even the smallest helpers can make the biggest difference. A beautiful story for families facing illness, challenges, or moments when love matters most.
Written by Dr. Franqua Bedell, this heartfelt book celebrates the strength of family, the courage of children, and the power of showing up for the people we love.
