Happy Father’s Day!
We would like to say thank you to all of the
incredible fathers and father figures out there who have made a difference in
so many lives.
From Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird to Mr. Weasley in Harry Potter, fathers have always played an important role in
literature. As a special tribute to fathers around the world, we want to give a
shout out to some of our favorite fathers and father figures. Who’s your
favorite literary dad? Let us know in the comments!
