The author of Why Men Are the Way They Are demolishes conventional wisdom about the nature of fatherhood and shows how the courts, media, and government create subtle, immensely powerful undercurrents that separate men from their children. Anyone who cares about the nature of fatherhood today, anyone interested in the legal and emotional issues that divide fathers from children, anyone viewing fatherhood from the perspective of a journalist, social worker, or lawmaker, and any single, married, or divorced parent needs to read this thoughtful and engaging book.Dr. Warren Farrell argues--with surprising and convincing evidence drawn from court cases, law-enforcement records, national statistics, and therapeutic case studies--that the judicial system, media, and government often make dads "the enemy." Fathers enjoy no parenting rights within the legal system and even in other, less typically confrontational arenas--such as the public education system--a wide range of unreported forces divide fathers from their children.For all its explosive conclusions, Father and Child Reunion ultimately calls for a rejoining of families and of children with parents who can care for them. Dr. Farrell has written what may be the most significant book on a vital issue facing men, parents, and families today.

Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books

"Jonathan Bach, the son of author Richard Bach, was named after the soaring, learning spirit of his father's most famous book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull." "Jonathan was two years old when Richard left the family and divorced his wife, creating what society calls a "broken home." From the day he was told that Richard didn't want to be a dad, Jonathan had an excuse to hate his father, to see him as nothing more than a failure and a coward." "Above the Clouds is the true story of how Jonathan's compelling search to learn the truth amid a sea of half-truths gave him the courage at age twenty-one to plow through his confusion and meet Richard. It is how Jonathan and Richard finally begin to know each other." "As Jonathan establishes a loving relationship with his father, he discovers that Richard is not a failure as a father. He learns that being from a broken home is not a destiny for self-destruction; that we can choose not to learn or we can check our assumptions by opening our minds; we can stay safe in the walls we build to protect us or we can shatter them to make peace with the past and live an enlightened future."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
