Pediatrician and bestselling author Meg Meeker has a message: End undervaluing fatherhood.

We reside in a tradition that hails motherhood being a woman’s crowning achievement yet defines men first and main by their professional achievements, treating fatherhood as nearly incidental-a bonus. But from her years spent like a pediatrician listening to children’s requirements and fears, Dr. Meeker understands precisely how important a father’s function is.

Hero is a powerful affirmation of fatherhood that shows men how being truly a strong, active father could be their greatest triumph.
