Dad, This Book’s About Us!
You may have seen the article with 5 reasons dads need to read to their kids. It was published by The Telegraph (UK) in September, but recently made the rounds on Twitter. The special bond that comes with reading with a child isn’t just for mom. It’s for dad, too, and one way to give dads the gift of those special moments is to give him a book where he’s one of the stars!
If you’re looking for a book for a dad-to-be or a new dad, look no further than Say Daddy! by Michael Shoulders.
