Among the famous fathers featured in this book are such political luminaries as J.F.K., Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nehru, musical dads like John Lennon, and famous movie star dads such as Kirk Douglas and Steve McQueen, all depicted in photos that reveal their tender sides as fathers. The result is as moving as it is memorable, and it is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the most stoic of dads.
