About the Author

Tim Dickerson is a Police Officer in a small city in southwest Washington state. On a day off, while taking care of a friend's baby, he took a nap with the child sleeping on his chest. It reminded him of the times his daughter, Jessica napped with him and how it had bonded them as father and daughter.

Amy Barnes in an Art Teacher in a city North of Seattle, Washington. Illustrating children's books has been a life-long dream of hers. The models for the artwork emerged from her own memory recalling her daughters, Kelsey and Lauren, napping with their Daddy and imagining the types of adventures they would want to take with the family dog at their side. The result is a combination of ink sketches and textured paper art that bring this book to life.

Chapter One

I like to snooze with Daddy. It's fun to take a nap. We go to such amazing places, While I sit upon his lap.

Sometimes we take a cowboy nap, It seems a little strange. With cows and horses all around, I ride the open range.

On Sundays we take an astronaut nap And soar among the stars. We fly around the galaxy, And come home by way of Mars.

In the summer we take an outside nap, On a blanket, in the sand. My surfboard slices through blue ocean, I feel the water on my hand.

Sometimes, when Daddy's really tired, He makes a real, loud snore. I dream I'm sharing with a bear, Who asks for more and more.

Then, sometimes, in the spring, I dream that I can fly I float above the trees and homes Like a kite up in the sky.

When we take a long road trip, Mommy likes to drive. I nap in my car seat And the highway comes alive.

Once, while riding on a train, I had a wonderful dream. We traveled through a candy forest And crossed a chocolate stream

I had another dream, one time, While napping with my Dad. We were going fast, on his new bike. What an awesome ride we had.

Of all the places our napping takes us, The one I like the best, Is snoozing on our sofa, While I lie on Daddy's chest.
