Editorial Reviews

�Picarella�s wry observations on fatherhood and American life are spot-on. Consider his light and heartfelt essays to be a user�s manual for dads.�

Los ANgeles Times - Chris Erskine

�While today�s digitized and distracted families are generally depicted as wise-cracking and argumentative, Michael Picarella�s column steadily reinforces the notion that families remain nurturing, character-building institutions built on love and caring, with a little zaniness around every corner.�
