Jayden Hong My precious dad

Age 8

5-8 year olds

I like my dad because he is strong and he is good at making sushi. He is kind to me and he smiles at me whenever I look at him. My dad is the best. When I grow up, I am going to make sushi like him. I chose to paint him because he makes the best sushi in the world. I think my dad is more precious than anything else. My dad is the best dad in the world.
