Dad, How Do I?: Practical Dadvice for Everyday Tasks and Successful Living - Hardcover

by Rob Kenney (Author)

From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral--Dad, How Do I?--comes a book that's part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY.

Rob Kenney's father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics--how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly--as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own.

Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice--and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos.

In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

For anyone who needs a helping hand, Rob offers practical skills and heartfelt encouragement:

• Inspirational Memoir: Rob shares his powerful story of overcoming a fatherless childhood, offering hope to anyone who has had to figure things out on their own.
• 50 Practical DIY Projects: Step-by-step instructions for everyday tasks--from jumping a car to unclogging a drain--with helpful line drawings to guide you.
• Essential "Dadvice" Full of the same gentle guidance and terrible (but funny) dad jokes that made his YouTube channel a viral sensation.
