Google celebrated Father’s Day 2021 with a doodle on June 20.

About its Father’s Day 2021 doodle, Google said, ‘Today’s Doodle is popping up to wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day! Check out some early sketches and a behind-the-scenes look at today’s stop-motion artwork by Doodler Olivia When.’

Father’s Day is celebrated every year in India on the third Sunday in the month of June. This year, it is being celebrated on June 20.

People show love and gratitude to their father on this day. Father’s Day is also dedicated to father figures who shape their kid’s minds, thoughts and are instrumental in giving wings to their wishes and desires. This day is dedicated to the efforts and sacrifices our father and father figures selflessly do for us.

16-year-old Sonora Louise Dodd lost her mother untimely and her father single-handedly raised her along with her 5 younger brothers. Sonora’s father, a war veteran, selflessly took care of his children.

Later, Sonora drew a petition regarding celebration of Father’s Day to honour and acknowledge the role of fathers and all father-like figures on June 5, the date of her father’s birthday.

Even though her petition was not successful, Sonora convinced local church communities to participate in the celebrations. However, the Father’s Day celebrations were later pushed to the third Sunday of June.
