Tom Romita 
Grumpy Dad Shovels Snow 

‘Grumpy Dad Shovels Snow’ is the first in the Grumpy Dad children’s book series which follow the goings-on in the Terwilliger family, as told through the eyes of four-year-old daughter, Molly. Molly, along with her parents, Tom and Carol, and baby brother Nicky, are a typical family, faced with the typical challenges of any household. As lovable as he is grumpy, Tom’s fatherly challenges provide the structure and life lesson of each story, and the ongoing impetus for Molly’s attempts to figure out what makes this large, and occasionally ornery occupant of the Terwilliger house, tick. In this first installment, Tom’s grumpiness is exacerbated by snow. Molly can’t understand why snow would make her dad, or anyone, grumpy. Tom’s dealing with the snow, and Molly, leads to a funny, heartwarming story that will delight grown- ups and children alike.
