Ten-year-old Dale yearns for his father’s love. Although smaller than the other kids and afraid of getting hurt, Dale tries out for Pee-Wee Football in hopes of winning his father’s approval. He makes the team and in his first game catches the winning touchdown, yet Dale still doesn’t get what he longs for the most: To hear his father say “I love you.”
“I Know My Dad Loves Me” explores the desire all boys have to know their fathers love them, and the struggle fathers experience in expressing that love. Through persistent questioning and the emotional toll of his grandfather’s death, Dale tries to get his father to say “I love you” before it’s too late.
