Book excerpt: It's official: Dads need a rebrand. The Father Hood celebrates the rapidly-growing tribe of hands-on dads who are discovering that fatherhood is the making of them. "The most important thing about being a dad is to be an example." Mark Wahlberg Welcome to The Father Hood. Where we celebrate the growing tribe of hands-on dads who are discovering that becoming a father is the greatest opportunity a man can have to be better than he's ever been before; stronger, wiser and more compassionate. But there is no instruction manual or benchmark for modern dads aside from one golden rule: keep showing up. With a mix of celebrity interviews - from Hugh Jackman, David Beckham, Osher Gunsberg and many more - as well as quotes and stats that capture the rise of the hands-on dad, The Father Hood is the guide to helping modern dads thrive and survive in the only job that really counts.

Download or read book Diary of an Angry Father written by Miso N. Grey and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When that tiny little human shot out of his mother's hugely-dilated opening screaming bloody murder, no matter how hard Dad looked, there was no book, manual, DVD, or even a business card with a web address inside that nasty pouch called “the afterbirth.” Apparently, God, in His infinite wisdom, forgot to leave a manual. Unfortunately for you, and your children, this book may be as close as you're going to get. Miso N. Grey is no doctor. He's not a psychologist, nor a specialist, spiritualist, or a teacher. He's not even a daycare worker. But Grey is an experienced father. You can learn how to pick up chicks, steal a car, hack a computer, or even build a meth lab; but there is no authority on parenting. There are no experts, no government agencies, no churches, no organizations, no non-profits, or no no-one who knows what's best for any child. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. Grey lists thousands of his clever findings in the pages of this book so you won't have to make the same mistakes. Diary of an Angry Father is seething. It's tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic to the bone. It's brutally honest. And it's a bunch of fun. Join the self-appointed “Child Raising Czar” on his wild adventures in parenthood as he debunks myths, defiles old wives tales, and destroys any preconceived notions you might have had about being a successful parent.

Book excerpt: A little boy spends the weekend at his dad’s new apartment in this picture book about how things change when parents separate — and the important things that stay the same. “This home is home because my dad is here, and it’s nothing like home because my mom isn’t here,” thinks the boy in this story when he enters his dad’s new apartment for the first time. His dad moved out on Monday and now it’s Friday night, the start of his weekend with his dad. The boy and his dad follow their normal weekend routine — they eat eggs for breakfast, play cards and spend time at the park. And then they do the same things on Sunday. It is hard to say goodbye at the end of the weekend, but Dad gives his son a letter to remind him that, even if they can’t always be together, the boy is loved. Naseem Hrab has written a poignant yet hopeful story, strikingly illustrated in Frank Viva’s signature style, about what happens when parents separate, and the new reality of having two homes.

As the year continues, the boys learn the hard and often hilarious lesson that sometimes what you least expect is what you come to care about the most. Praise for The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher A Junior Library Guild Selection [set star] ”Their banter is realistic, and the disorder of their everyday lives, convincing. The Fletcher family rules!” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred ”Dana Alison Levy has gloriously reimagined the classic family story into a thoroughly modern mold, and it works perfectly.” —Bruce Coville, bestselling author of My Teacher Is an Alien and the Unicorn Chronicles [P1] [set star] ”With its semi-episodic structure, laugh-out-loud humor, and mix of zaniness and love, Levy’s debut offers something truly significant: a middle-grade family story featuring gay parents and interracial families that is never about either issue.” —School Library Journal, Starred ”Levy provides a compelling, compassionate, and frequently hilarious look at their daily concerns. By book’s end readers will want to be part of (or at least friends with) this delightful family.” —The Horn Book
