This giveaway is now over. The winner is Louis. Congrats!
Due to a sick child, I'm getting this review up a little later than I wanted. However, if the dad in your life didn't get what he wanted for Father's Day, I've got some great books you should get for him!
First, we have Dear Dad. This book is a collage of pictures of dads and grandpas with their kids. This book will warm any dad’s heart and inspire families everywhere to capture those sweet moments with dear old Dad. All of the photos from the book originated from the M.I.L.K. Project which is a global photographic competition. The M.I.L.K Project has 17,000 professional and amateur photographers in 164 countries. In total, over 40,000 images were received by M.I.L.K., including entries from at least four Pulitzer Prize winners. The collection of photos included in Dear Dad perfectly captures those sweet moments between fathers and their children all over the world.
The next book is Memento. The author had given his father a notebook with questions about his life. It wasn't until after his father's death that he found that his dad did fill out the notebook. Inside, he found stories and memories and things he never even knew about! This is where Memento comes from. Not only a “DAD” book, this book can be given to anyone and is the gift of a lifetime (literally!). The conversations this book brings up is worth its weight in gold. Life is fleeting and this is the perfect gift to live on.
Lastly, we have Handy Dad. This is Bill's favorite book. They have instructions for skate ramps, zip lines, go-carts, and more! There are 25 awesome projects for dads to build with their kids. You can choose projects that range from simple to challenging and take anywhere from five minutes to a full weekend. Not only are you given a material list, but it also tells you how difficult the project is going to be. The directions are easy to follow and there are lots of pictures to make sure you are doing it right. Handy Dad will keep your husbands and your kids busy for hours!
