MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Fun Book of Fatherhood: A Paternity Leave Dad—Tale of a Pioneer": a brilliant memoir on parenting. "The Fun Book of Fatherhood" is the creation of published author Jerry Cammarata, PhD, the first male teacher in the history of New York City Board of Education to be granted a paternity leave in 1974; he is a role model father and grandfather and through his story, a pioneer of modern parenting.
Dr. Cammarata shares, "Today, it is commonplace around the world (not so much the
United States, unfortunately) for men to take paid family leave to be with their wives and children at an irreplaceable time in their lives.
Thinking back, it is hard to imagine how little support my quest for paternity leave garnered, even from my own family. They thought I was crazy! 'Are you going to wear an apron around the house?' was a typical taunt. The expression 'Mr. Mom' wasn't part of the vernacular then, but the thought was. Friends, family, and co-workers just
could not understand it.
While great strides have been made in our approach to family leave in the United States, we still have a long and winding path to travel."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jerry Cammarata's new book is a remarkable journey through the whirlwind adventure of raising a family in the modern world, made ever more colorful through the wildlife motif and the various animals the children represent in their metaphorical jungle theater.
The Cammarata family story offers insight, encouragement, and a ton of heart and humor for other parents out there determined to make sure they put their family first in a world where technology threatens to tear crucial bonds apart.
