Description
My Papi Has a Motorcycle meets Bilal Cooks Daal in this sweet father-daughter story that celebrates hardworking immigrant parents

When Aizah rides with her dad on Saturday mornings, she feels like a movie star—Baba in the driver’s seat, her in the back. Baba’s taxi seems brighter and the world seems bigger when they’re together.

Baba works long hours, so he can’t walk Aizah home from school and they rarely get to eat dinner together, but they still squeeze in family time however they can. So when Baba has to miss her school’s daddy-daughter dance, Aizah plans something SUPER-DUPER-EXTRA-SPECIAL to surprise him.

Spotlighting a Pakistani American Muslim family, this universal picture book is a proud love letter to working class parents, immigrants, and dads everywhere.
