Daddy
Daughter Dinner Dance
By Bill
Quateman & India
One Father Examines
..
Families, Daughters and Love
Daddy
Daughter Dinner Dance by Bill Quateman and his daughter, India,
is a delightful gift or self-help book.
Quateman
calls his a blended family and it truly is, in about every way a
reader can imagine. This book is about his experiences with his
children and mates and the family in which he was raised. It is
also a love letter to his daughter, an exercise in including children
in the lives of their parents, a book of unfettered joyful children's
art and poetry.
Dinner
Dance is also a book that looks and feels like a treasure, one
you'd be proud to give to a new father.
I mustn't
forget the practical. After all the sharing and love are done, this
colorful book includes resource pages for family movies, books on
rearing a child, and books about personal growth. You'll also find
suggestions for available support for untraditional families, for
stepparenting, for spiritual healing and for fathering that can
be found on the web. 4aqThe work pages for playing and thinking
are also a delight.
Bill Quateman didn't leave out much-probably
because he writes from experience and that, as we all know, is the
best teacher.
