1In May 1909, a young woman sat in a church in Spokane, Washington. The pastor was talking about Mother's Day. Her name was Sonora Smart Dodd, and she had a question. Why was there no special day for fathers?

2Sonora had a good reason to ask. Her mother died in 1898, when her sixth child was born. So her father, William, raised Sonora and her five little brothers alone. He had been a soldier, and he worked hard for his family. Sonora wanted to thank him in a big way.

3She asked the pastors in her town to choose a day for fathers. The first Father's Day was on June 19, 1910. Young people wore roses to church that day. A red rose meant your father was alive. A white rose meant he had died.

4But the idea grew slowly. Mother's Day became a national day in 1914. Father's Day had to wait until 1972, 62 years after the first one. Sonora was 90 years old by then, and she lived to see it. It was a very long wait for her.

5Today, the United States and Japan celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. Families give cards, neckties, and good meals to their dads. But the date is not the same everywhere. In Spain and Italy, it is on March 19. In Taiwan, it is on August 8, because eight eight sounds like baba, a Chinese word for dad. And in Germany, many men go for a long walk with a cart full of beer!
