"Thanks for writing this book. It expressed a lot I had bottled up inside me - and more. I love my kids a lot, but sometimes I'm not the best with words. These thoughts from the heart are so simple and straightforward - my boys understood them, and so did I! It's also helped open the door to some great conversations between my sons and I." - Frank Hallman, Minneapolis

"I know you wrote this book for dads, but I'm very grateful too. It gave my husband an opportunity, and a tool, to share some things my kids know he feels about them, but he doesn't always verbalize. It was heart warming to watch how they responded when he read it to them, as you suggested. I'm so glad he did it - it made me wonder what I haven't been sharing with my kids? Thank you." - Patti S., Burnsville, MN

This next Father's Day (June 15, 2008), dads are encouraged to do something different - you give your kids a gift of thanks for being the best gift you could ever have!

These gift books are helping many fathers share thoughts from their heart -- lots of dads have felt these things - but not yet shared with their children. 54 affirmations (with two pages for dad to add your own) help dad share these thoughts from his heart with his son(s) and daughter(s).

These books were originally written by Kim to help him connect with his own two children when they became young adults. But as Kim talked with more men and dads, he began to notice a trend. For example, he often heard men and women say, "I know my dad loved me - he never said it in those words, but I know he did ..." But he never heard a dad say, "I connect too much with my kids." As a result of this trend, and the encouragement from friend and co-publisher Rafael Ramos, these books are now available to other dads too!
