Description
about This Book
A dad is always there to provide support and encouragement just when it’s needed most, as well as help teach us some of life’s most invaluable lessons–from how to fly a kite and pitch a tent to how to change a tire, negotiate a raise, or take on our first big home improvement project. Now it’s time to say thank you! In Big Shoes, Al Roker and 45 other well-known personalities share personal stories about how their fathers have been there for them during times of both adversity and triumph, and the countless large and small ways they’ve shaped their lives throughout the years. These essays remind us of the important–and lasting–legacy of our dads, even as we’ve grown up and gone on to start families of our own. A stellar group of contributors reflects on the importance of fathers and fatherhood, including:
Matt Lauer
Katie Couric
Beau Bridges
Bonnie Rait
Kris Kristofferson
Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler)
Bradley Whitford
Robert Mondavi
Dr. Dean Ornish
B.D. Wong
and many more!
