Clint Arthur wrote and illustrated “Daddy Loves You” as a Christmas present for his 2-year-old daughter. It went on to become a cherished staple of their nightly bedtime-story-reading sessions for years, along with Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Gorilla, and others of the genre.
He wrote the book because, as a single father, Clint wanted his daughter to know that his love for her was constant, even if he couldn't be with her every day, and that no matter what happened, he would always love her.
