Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance: A Father's Steps to a Blended Family That Really Works

These are snapshots of life, of a 3- to 6-year-old little girl, her single-parent father and their blended family. She appears in drawings, he appears in tongues, using poetry to transcribe his daughter's description of her drawings, and prose to describe how they've made a life together, in a way that resembles a dance. In this picture we see the simple beauty between leading and following, as two partners do a tender boogie glide through growing up together. These universal stories are like rcepies for how-it-can-work, by example, in the new, most prevalent form of family, the blended or stepfamily. As India said when she was asked why is it a good idea to read books, "It's a good idea to read books to learn good ideas." Soundtrack Music CD Included!
