About me...
About Book Dads...❖ History
❖ Mission is twofold:
❖ Review books showing fatherhood in a positive light
❖ Promoting literacy by reviewing books dads can share with their kids
Reading is our passion...
❖ Often times, this is our primary reason for becoming a book blogger.
My story...
❖ http://literacytoolbox.com/literacytoolbox/?p=1220
❖ You think your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive. ~ James Baldwin
Building a better world❖ Books are the carriers of
civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
❖ Simply by having a book blog (ex: Inspiring others to read)
❖ Books we choose to review
