'I didn't want to be the dad that was delivering a kid to school looking like she just slept on the street.'
Speaking with the two hosts, the star explained that he had been inspired to write this story after an incident with his 10-year-old daughter Everly involving a lie. Because of this, one of the hosts asked Tatum what kind of parent he is.
"I have no idea. I don’t know. I’m just trying to get by," he admitted."I think like every other parent, you’re just trying not to mess your kids up. But you know you’re going to." Later on in the interview, co-host Jenna Bush-Hager said to Tatum,"You became a single dad right around the time you created this character—did Sparkella help you learn you how to parent?", that was not in the cards, in my planning at least.. I was like looking up YouTube on how to braid hair, you know, I didn't want to be the dad that was delivering a kid to school looking like she just slept on the street."Tatum continued,"So this series of books really came from that.
"I was raised very, very different. Like, South[ern] dad, just like, 'hey, touch that again, you're gonna get a whipping' sort of a situation. And we don't spank Evy, so it's one of those gentle kind of things, but having to learn where to be strong, where to be firm but not in the way that I [was raised]."
For context, Tatum was born in Cullman, Alabama. Throughout the interview, he explained how he sets boundaries with Everly without the level of strictness he experienced as a kid.
