"Jerry became the beacon of hope for dads throughout the country, if not the word because of his historic decision to put his family first. His journey down the path of parenting and being granted the first paternity leave will have a lasting effect on future national and global policies. Granting Jerry a paternity leave was one of the most profound decisions made by me and unanimously by members of the New York City Central Board of Education. Reading his Fun Book about how he raised his children, well, it was a treasured experience."

How do I know? I've listened to Jerry Cammarata, the first dad who got a paternity leave from the nyc board of education in the 70s, and what he says in his book, the fun book of fatherhood, makes sense. right under our noses, jerry shows us how all of us can be better parents even by going to the zoo. no kidding. look, we all raise our kids a little differently - sure. but, it will also take washington dc to step up to the plate and help. jerry tells us what the politicians must to do to strengthen our national family policies. jerry will make you feel about parenting. read his book like I did."

It also features vignettes about how he and his wife, Margaret, raised their son and two daughters (and now their grandchildren), and compares parenting challenges presented by children with those in the animal world."

"What a marvelous story about finding human parenting skills through observing the animal kingdom, and to better understand how best to live on this planet. Every parent should read this book."

"Government needs to listen to what Dr. Cammarata is saying about being able to enjoy parenting. Government and business must see the family as the center of our culture which will be the future success of our nation. Working toward a national family leave policy is another moment in our civil rights journey. Jerry gets it."

"Nothing is more important than our relationship with our families. It is the foundation for all we do. This book embraces those relationships and offers insight, encouragement and some humor that enriches us all. Jerry Cammarata is the Godfather of modern parenting."
