Description

This police officer daddy book for kids is written for children of police officers; the perfect police officer daddy book. Inspired by a real police officer family's life (the author), it's about two young brothers that find their police dad’s boots by the door. They are excited, because it means their dad is home to play with him. This police officer daddy kids book takes place in the morning through the eyes of children of a police officer. They imagine what their police dad does at work- fighting crime. When their dad wakes up, they quickly tell him all about their day yesterday while he’s in uniform. He plays with them. Then, one brother waddles around the house wearing the large work boots. Then, his police dad shines the boots and puts them over his black socks to get ready to go to work. The brothers express sadness that their dad is going to work again. Their mom comforts them and tells them about all the fun things they will do that day. Who Should Read this Book: This police officer daddy book is perfect for any child who loves police officers, police uniforms, and police boots. It is a great police officer book for toddlers, preschool age, children ages 3-5, 5-7, and school-age children. This book can help children to process emotions about missing their parents. This book has especially been written for each police officer family. There are tips at the end of the book for processing emotions as children miss their parents and may not understand why they must work nights, weekends, and holidays when other parents are typically home. What Are Readers Saying? Emily: “I just read it as we’re doing bedtime. He wants me to read it again!” Dana: “It’s really sweet and kinda sad too, but I like it. It’s relatable.” About the Author & Illustrator: Kristen Linton is a police wife and mom of two boys from Los Angeles. Her husband, Rick, and her sons, Maverick & Leonidas, who look up to their hero dad more than anything, inspired her to write this book as a glimpse of what it’s like as a police family. Michelle Johnson is a police wife and mom of two boys from the Portland, Oregon area. Her illustration business was born out of needing a creative outlet during stressors of 2020 and tries to incorporate the importance of positivity and real life within her work. Dedication: We dedicate this to our partners working hard for their families in black boots and socks. And to our children. May they grow up seeing the real life hero in their life. We truly hope you enjoy this kids book about police officers. Other Resources: Check out "boots by the door: a police coloring book" to go along with this book also available on Amazon.

  • Great police kids/family book!
Daddy read this book to the kids on the first night we got it. The kids (age 2.5 and 3.5) were engaged in the book the whole time. My husband (LEO) especially loved the way the book was written, touching on subjects like “daddy just woke up and has to go to work again”, but embracing that he is their hero and serves to protect everyone. It’s also written perfectly. My 3.5 year old reader can read this book with ease. We love this book so much! Thank you for bringing light to topics that can be hard to explain to children. ❤️ Daddy is our real life superhero! ... show more

  • Satisfied Customer!
I purchased both children’s books and am so glad I did. Shipping was very quick, great quality product and great price! I am somewhat inspired to write my own children’s book now :) I recommend adding both books to your child’s book shelf!

  • Relatable Police Book for Kids
My husband is a hero in more ways than one. But most of all, he is the ultimate hero to our son! Boots by the Door is an accurate and relatable police daddy book for kids. The child’s perspective is really neat and the illustrations are soooo cute. I really liked the part about shiny boots. Our son wears his dad’s boots every chance he gets! This is a must have in your collection of police daddy books. 🚔 ... show more

  • Essential for LEO families
As a second grade teacher and an LEO mother, I think this is an excellent way to provide families with comfort and clarity on what it means to have a family member who serves and protects. This is a great book for kids to understand the sacrifice they make along with their LEO parent. As an LEO wife, it is a great tool to educate and comfort my children.HIGHLY recommend ... show more

  • Wonderful Children’s Book
Just finished Michelle Kroon’s children’s book, she illustrated! Excellent children’s book, whether you are a LEO’s wife/child or anyone! Simplistic perspective, written by and illustrated by two Leo’s wives! Good job, ladies! Michelle, I have known, since she was born!

  • I cried, my son cried, the baby laughed... she's such a trooper!
One box of tissues isn't enough. I felt like I was part of the family in this story. It's an epic tale of a family and the hardships of separation and the burdens of our busy lives. I love all the drawings. The illustrations were so good!

  • Cute!
Sweet book about kids whose dad works as a police officer. With so much negativity recently towards LEO, this presents a real world picture of who may be behind the uniform, the reason they work to keep our world a little safer. Illustrations are so adorable!
