Devin Thomas is turning fatherhood into a legacy children can read.
The North Carolina father and children’s book author created My Father’s Love and My Father’s Wisdom from his bond with his daughter and the kind of fatherhood he wants more children to see, feel, and remember.
According to his official website, Thomas is building a fatherhood literacy movement through books, school readings, bookstore events, and community partnerships. His stories celebrate the love, guidance, and presence of a father while giving families books they can treasure together.
The books center gentle moments between a father and his daughter, helping children see love, patience, protection, wisdom, and emotional connection on the page. His website notes that the series is meant to remind children that a parent’s love and guidance can become one of the strongest foundations they carry.
@dadanddaughterstoriesI walked into Barnes & Noble with a story I wrote for my daughter for the second time, and the community reminded me why this message matters. My Father’s Love is more than a children’s book. It’s a reminder that present fathers still exist, and our children deserve to see that love in stories too. Help me get this story into more homes, schools, and libraries. www.Myfatherslovebook.com #MyFathersLove #PresentFathersStillExist #FatherDaughter #GreensboroNC #ChildrensBooks♬ Moment Of Reflection – Jhonatan Rodrigues & Piano Sky & Dee Piano
Thomas has also brought that message beyond the books. According to information shared with BOTWC, his first Barnes & Noble book signing was held on April 4 and sold out. His website now notes that he has sold out of available signed copies at two book signing events, while also connecting with local bookstores, schools, sponsors, and families who believe in the mission.
For Thomas, the work is not just about selling books. It is about showing children what present, loving, affectionate fatherhood can look like. It is about legacy, representation, and creating moments where young readers can see a father’s love in a powerful and positive way.
Through every page, reading, and community event, Thomas is helping remind families that fatherhood stories matter too.
