Publisher's Summary

It is Father’s Day in the neurodiversity household and Percy is sad that is not able to get a gift. Mummy creates an adventure of showing Daddy how much they care by making something for him using words from a magazine and newspaper but Percy becomes upset as wants to keep the pictures for himself and not share with Daddy. Mummy pops upstairs leaving Percy and his younger brother James in the kitchen.

Percy creates an adventure with James to get the paint out of the cupboard, cover the kitchen in paint, and paint the baby blue with their bums to make a picture for Daddy. The boys hear mummy coming so run paint through the house to hide from mummy. Percy and James hid in the airing cupboard, surprising Daddy for the messiest Father's Day ever. Mummy turns the boy's pictures into a rocket and they all play pretend in the messy kitchen that they are going to the moon.
