Publisher's summary

Pediatrician and best-selling author Meg Meeker has a message: stop undervaluing fatherhood.

We live in a culture that hails motherhood as a woman's crowning achievement yet defines men first and foremost by their professional accomplishments, treating fatherhood as almost incidental - a bonus. But from her years spent as a pediatrician listening to children's needs and fears, Dr. Meeker understands just how crucial a father's role is.

Hero is a powerful affirmation of fatherhood that shows men how being a strong, active father can be their greatest triumph.

Makes me glad to be a dad!

Finally, someone is standing up for dads and their importance in the family unit! The author does a great job discussing our culture and the belittlement of the dad role in everything we see (commercials, TV, newspaper articles, etc.).

I think it's just as important for mothers/wives to read this book. It will give you a new understanding of the importance of your husband to your children's lives.

Would listen to again!

very good ideas

I found this book to be a reinforcement of what I learned from the example my father gave to his four kids. Dad has been gone for more than 25 years, but his teachings have been carried forward by two sons & two daughters.
