"I wrote this for my nephews, Easton, Hayden, Aiden, and Liam. That's their dad up on the roof in the rain. That's their Papa, my own dad, down at the furnace. Two family businesses, both in this book now, permanently. The boys are too little to know it yet. But it will get read to them at bedtime, and one day they will find their own dad in the pictures. That is the whole reason this book exists."Ron Smith, author of Hands Like Daddy's

Ron Smith grew up in his family's HVAC business and has spent the last 15 years beside families who built their companies with their hands. He wrote Hands Like Daddy's for his nephews, Easton, Hayden, Aiden, and Liam, for his brothers-in-law who are those dads now, and for the kid he used to be, waiting on the same truck to come home.
