About this ebook

It is often hard for children to think of their Daddy as a ‘little boy’.

Sasha discovered that her Daddy was once upon a time a little boy when she fell ill and her Daddy told her a story about himself when he was her age.

Sasha was fascinated by this discovery. So, whenever she would fall sick, she would ask her Daddy to tell her a story about himself ‘when he was a little boy’, and, each time her Daddy would tell her a new story of funny things that ever happened to actual little boys like him or to other little daddies that he knew.

After all, all daddies were ‘little boys’ once. When Daddy was a little boy is a timeless collection of tales that happened to a Daddy when he was a ‘little boy’.

One thing that distinguished the Russian books from other kiddie books I saw was that they were more real, more everyday. I had never seen a book where the illness and pain of a small child was at the heart of it, its raison d’etre. Silly stories about daddy’s childhood being an escape, and the father’s helplessness in the face of pain – this was very rare. It still is. Too many kids’ stories are about superheroic qualities or adventures, which is a sort of fantasy too. And now, even the fairytales are sanitised to remove all traces of real pain.
