Letters to My Children: A Father Passes on His Values

Sep 16, Barnabas Piper rated it it was amazing.

I felt as of this book was fathering me. Taylor's keen insights written in a caring and thoughtful hand are both a balm and a spur to the reader.

It was inspiring and informative for me as a father as well. Apr 20, Chris Druin rated it it was amazing. Touches on so many subjects that should be discussed with our children. He does an excellent and not preachy way of giving advise with some added humor. Mostly basic stuff that could be read to elementary grades but insightful enough for teens as well.

The first is for my book, Laptop Letters: It offers many ideas and subjects about the types of things which you might want to include in writing legacy letters or notes to children. These include finding happiness, making the world better, deciding what is really important in life. The book also features sample letters and notes to inspire writers.

The second book is Hummingbird Joy: Its word prompts encourage you to write about all the good things in your life that are worth remembering and which have given you joy. Writing and reading about your happy memories are bound to make both you and a young person you are close to very happy. Other prompts help you recall the different things in your life for which you are grateful, something a child also needs to read. Think how wonderful it might be for you and the child you love to fill in the digital book's pages together on your computer, save them and come back to read or write more later.

Or, if you complete the book yourself, you can then e-mail the completed e-book to a child.

I hope both qualities are genetic and are in your genes too. I checked the closets every night for monsters to ensure you were safe. I ate a healthy diet that mainly consisted of the four major food groups: For dessert, I skipped the sweets and instead nibbled on your baby toes. I had two guaranteed highlights of every day: Waking up in the morning to your smiling faces and singing you to sleep each night with beautiful renditions of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and the theme to "Charles in Charge.

Even though I was small, I always played with a big heart.

I don't believe in opening gifts on Christmas Eve until you have finished singing at least an hour's worth of carols. I played guitar, though I did not play a single song that impressed your mom.

Letters to My Children

Must have won her over with my killer good looks. I made it through life with the help of a lot of amazing friends. I hope you're as lucky in this department as I am. I was passionate about a lot of things -- writing, Boggle, discrediting lame email forwards, seeing how many days in a row I could wear the same pair of pants before someone noticed -- and it was my passion that drove me to be better at everything I did.

That passion included striving to be the best father in the world. The designated hitter is stupid. Has little relevance here, but it's still an important fact you should know. I have the number 5 jersey to prove it.
