Dad's Book of Awesome Projects is designed to get families crafting and playing together -- largely with materials you already have on hand.

Think Martha Stewart meets MacGyver.

Stilts. Book stashes. Bike ramps. Bird houses. Ice cream. Flying shirts. Friendship bracelets. Swing sets.

There's a project for every family, for every occasion.

"It's the perfect book of inspiration and ideas that we can refer to every time our daughter says, “Let’s make something!” -- Liesl Gibson, founder and designer of Oliver + S sewing patterns and author of "Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew."

In bookstores everywhere May 18!

Fatherhood Friday! Come chat this Friday!

My friend Charlie from How to Be a Dad is hosting a Google Hangout Friday morning at 10 a.m. PST to talk about Dads Book of Awesome Projects, parenting, crafting, and who knows what else really.

Cool things. Scandal. You name it.

Come check it out here.

As Charlie is the co-author of the hilarious Guide to Baby Sleep Positions, we’ll probably be talking a lot about books and all the crazy crap that happens when writers try to also become marketers — a must in today’s environment. Still, hire a pro photographer, wouldya?

Hope to see you tomorrow!

And remember, if you’ve been on the fence about Dad’s Book or just waiting for the right time, well, now’s the time!

Buy it from between 10 to 11 a.m. PST, during the chat, to help spike the numbers.

The amazon link is here.

And don’t forget to check out Facebook for a cool gift giveaway in the morning
