A playbook filled with short lessons for new fathers who might not have had the best examples of fatherhood ““Kendall Smith’s new book, Rookie Father, provides a treasure trove of helpful ideas for new fathers (and old fathers) alike.  As someone who has done research on families and has been married for 44 years with 7 children and 20 grandchildren, I found the book providing the kind of advice that all fathers need as they try to navigate the challenges of being and husband and father.” Author Kendall Smith, takes you under his wing, sharing the wisdom he has gathered from his own experience as a father, from observing other dads, and from interviewing various generations of men. This playbook for fathers who, like Smith, did not have a regular and dependable father figure is packed with short lessons to answer questions new dads will face, from choosing your parenting style to what it means to really be the “man of the house” (spoiler alert: it’s not the 1950s) to managing your expectations as your child grows into a unique person. With hilarious examples and a straightforward approach, Rookie Father is the mentor-in-a-book every new father needs to be the dad you want to be. *Hardcover*
