Arnold Henry is this week’s guest for the Life of Dad After Show.
Arnold Henry talks about his new book, Daddy’s Mini-Me, how an editor told him that people don’t want to read a book about an African-American dad, how he took that as motivation, fatherhood and much more.
About his book….
Daddy’s Mini-Me is a children’s book about the proud moments of a father as he cheers on the early developmental stages of his baby. It’s intended to be a 32-page, fully illustrated, hardcover children’s picture book written for ages: newborn to 4 years old. The illustration was drawn by the talented, St. Lucian born, Ted M. Sandiford who is a father of 6 children. This children’s book is for all proud fathers to read to their toddlers. Of course, mummy can read it out loud to their babies too.
