Jerrad Lopes
Founder of Dad Tired Author “My Daddy’s Hero: A Story About Jesus, The Ultimate Hero” This one-of-a-kind picture book points children to Jesus, the true hero of every family, and encourages dads in their role as a spiritual leader in their home. Young children often see their daddy as a larger-than-life figure who can fix everything from broken toys to scraped knees. But behind every super dad is a supernatural Savior who shapes ordinary men into extraordinary fathers. This sweet and simple story helps children understand Jesus’s role as the true head of the family and learn to trust Him with their hearts, just like they would trust their own dad. For fathers, My Daddy’s Hero is a powerful reminder of their most important role―to lead their children to Jesus.
