An American woman named John B. Dodd first came up with the idea of
Father’s Day in 1909. Her father took care of his six children by
himself after his wife died. When Mrs. Dodd became an adult, she wanted a special
day to honor her father.
 Other
people in many towns and cities across America also started to celebrate
Father’s Day. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. Finally in 1966, President
Lyndon Johnson made the third Sunday of June Father’s Day.

dads.
They go on a picnic together or
dine out at a nice restaurant.
