Super-Daddy! An early literacy program, where dads read an
age-appropriate comic book, and both dads and kids are encouraged to
dress as their favorite characters. Younger kids create a superhero
costume for their dads. Older kids can draw a comic book. The kids get
a one-year subscription to the comic book to encourage reading.
