Our other blog Book Dads is having a contest.

We started this blog just two months ago as a site for anyone to find books and book reviews that have positive views of fathers and fatherhood. We would love to hear any recommendations of books, from you the readers, that would be appropriate for review on Book Dads.

For this contest we are giving away an Amazon.com Gift Card worth $25.00.

Welcome to Book Dads

We all know it’s a mom’s world out there.  Our son has two dads, so when he first joined our family we were concerned that he wouldn’t have enough women in his life.  Instead, we found ourselves surrounded by women - at school, on the playground, and elsewhere - and found the world of parenting dominated by “mommy culture”.  Suddenly, we were dads in a mom’s world, whether looking for masculine diaper bags or searching for parenting advice that wasn’t directed exclusively to mothers.

Reading together is one of the most important things a parent can do for a child, and a strong legacy from both of our families.  But more often than not, we found ourselves reading books to our son that always talked about moms but rarely mentioned dads.  Book Dads grew out of our search for books to share with our son that emphasized fathers and the importance of fatherhood in children’s lives.  If you’re a father who cares about reading with your children - no matter how you’re parenting - then Book Dads is for you.

Dad's Gathering

Dad's Gathering

On Wednesday evening we attended the Family Week Dad’s Gathering.  It was a good opportunity to connect with old friends and make some new ones.  We’ve always enjoyed the Dad’s Gathering and attended each of the first two years we came to Family Week. Last year they did not schedule this event and we really missed it.  Glad to see it back again!
