Big Shoes: In Celebration of Dads and Fatherhood Book

Now in trade paperback, a collection of thoughts on fathers and fatherhood by various celebrities with an introduction by bestselling Al Roker

In Big Shoes, Al Roker and 37 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 theyve shaped their lives throughout the years. These essays remind us of the important -- and lasting -- legacy of our dads, even as weve grown up and gone on to start families of our own. As Al Roker says, "No matter who your father is or was, whether a great man or someone who left a lot to be desired, there is something in the man that you can learn from, something that will make you a better person."
