A father's lessons are gifts that last a lifetime. The love and support of a father play a central role in a child's life; fathers themselves are forever changed by the experience of fatherhood. In this outstanding collection of stories, poems and letters, famous individuals and ordinary people from all walks of life share fond memories of their fathers and relate the lessons fatherhood has taught them. Lessons from Dad celebrates the all-important father-child relationship and pays tribute to our greatest teachers, guides, and heroes--our dads.
