Bestselling author and beloved Today show
personality Al Roker teams up with his celebrity friends to
share personal thoughts, stories, and reflections on
fathers and fatherhood in this heartwarming collection. A dad is always there to provide support and encouragement
just when it's needed most, as well as help teach us some
of life's most invaluable lessons -- from how to fly a kite
and pitch a tent to how to change a tire, negotiate a
raise, or take on our first big home improvement project.
Now it's time to say thank you! In Big Shoes, Al Roker and 45 other well-known
personalities share personal stories about how their
fathers have been there for them during times of both
adversity and triumph, and the countless large and small
ways they've shaped their lives throughout the years. These
essays remind us of the important -- and lasting -- legacy
of our dads, even as we've grown up and gone on to start
families of our own. A stellar group of contributors reflects on the importance
of fathers and fatherhood, including:
--Matt Lauer
--Katie Couric
--Beau Bridges
--Bonnie Rait
--Kris Kristofferson
--Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler)
--Bradley Whitford
--Robert Mondavi
--Dr. Dean Ornish
--B.D. Wong
--and many more!
