Publisher's Synopsis

The quick and accessible guide to being the best dad you can be from the Sunday Times bestselling author, the perfect gift for dads new and old.

'Hilarious and sharp... Everything (and more) about being a dad' - Ron Howard, Academy-Award winning filmmaker

'A beautiful reminder that the most important stories often start at home' - Viola Davis, EGOT-winning actress and producer

James Patterson did the parenting homework so you don't have to - at least not as much. He talked to lots of experts, and lots of dads, and lots of experts who are also dads. He read everything he could. Then he wrote and rewrote this book for dads everywhere.
In 1 hour...
You can be a better dad to your kids.
Somebody who keeps learning and growing and loving your family.
You can be a hands-on teacher. Somebody who gives hugs and changes nappies.
You can be a dad who is more present.
Somebody who's a good storyteller and a good listener.
You can be a better husband or partner.
Somebody who can say, "I was wrong" and "I love you."
Dad, your new life begins in 1 hour.
