My Dad Likes Birds - Robert Rodriguez - Bog

My Dad Likes Birds is a book written by a dad for dads. The essence of the book is to encourage dads to remove themselves from the crazy grind, take a moment to themselves and spend some time reading with their kids. Its a multi-therapeutic practice intended to self serve one's inner peace, provide children with the much needed attention and support of their father, and create a special bond to last a lifetime. These moments are critical and special, and should not be underestimated or under-appreciated.As a father of two young girls, ages 1 and 4 as of writing, I treasure the moments spent connecting with my girls. This time to connect, which usually equates to "doing nothing" in my big person world, is actually excellent down time and decompress time. I am fortunate enough to appreciate and recognize the moments, as well as afford the time to make for us to be together.I mentally wrote My Dad Likes Birds in the early summer evenings spending time with my girls in the backyard, hanging out on the hammock, and of course watching birds. Fortunately here in Pasadena, we have a generous variety of birds that captivate our skies and our imagination. Almost all of the pictures in the book were taken by one of us. The end of the day wind down with the family can make all the difference stabilizing the dynamics a family of four can carry. The story, yet short and simple, was written to share and inspire my fellow fathers to find time, spend time or make whatever time possible to capture and share those moments. As an early stage father, these moments are beautiful and priceless.I dedicate this book to all my girls, Taryn, Haven and Mila and thank them for a fulfillment that is impossible to match.
