Mommy and Daddy Do It Pro Bono is a hip guide for parents and kids alike to inspire the next generation about how to give back to your community - and give what you know. What starts with a little girl asking, What do you do, daddy? leads us to a description of epic careers by inspiring parents - careers as varied as consultants, writers, accountants, engineers, architects, doctors, marketing professionals, lawyers, programmers and HR managers. Readers will quickly see that this book is not your traditional kid s fare of endless role models of princesses and spacemen. With President Obama s push towards engaging all of us to volunteer and serve our communities, this book serves as a conversation-starter and share with us what inspires you.

All proceeds from this book are dedicated to the Taproot Foundation, the leading organization in the pro bono service movement.

About the Author:

As parents living in Brooklyn, Kara and Aaron Hurst were inspired to write this book because we found that there were few books available for our children that speak to careers - and blending professional work with a commitment to service. Kara is a Managing Director at Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), a global business network and consultancy focused on sustainability. Aaron is the founder of the Taproot Foundation, a leading pro bono service agency that strengthens nonprofits by engaging business professionals in service. Illustrator Kevin McGrath also lives in Brooklyn, and works as a Special Educator and artist.
