BOOK 13 · MY MUMMY, MY DADDY

My Daddy is a Police Officer



You leave in a uniform, come home tired, and somewhere along the way she started asking where you go and whether you are alright. This book answers her, in words she can hold on to.

When she asks her daddy what a police officer does, he shows her the parts she can understand: the little radio that keeps everyone together, the patrol car with its blue lights, the station full of friendly faces and one very waggy dog, and a stripy tea towel laid across the rug so Teddy can practise crossing the road. Nothing frightening happens in this story. There is no crime, nobody is in danger, and there are no weapons anywhere in the book. It is about helping: finding what is lost, staying calm, and turning up when somebody needs you.
