JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY is an expressive story filled with daily affirmations for any young child. This story is meant to encourage and reiterate to them that GREAT daddies do exist. It's an important reminder that the narrative around black fathers and the negative perception of saying "You're just like your daddy" can be changed. It can be a good thing. It can be a really great thing. We have the power to break those cycles by speaking LIFE into our kids every chance we get. It is also a great reminder to our dads that our kids are always watching and want to be just like you!

Zanthony is on a journey of self-discovery. His mothers repetitive comparison to his absent father causes him to wonder what type of man his dad is. Zanthony considers becoming an artist, detective, chef, archeologist, journalist, military general, actor, psychologist, medical doctor, and astronaut. Ultimately, Zanthony learns and his mother realizes that he is beyond comparison and a wonderful individual that will grow into his own outstanding man.

At four years of age, a child is learning very rapidly, but sometimes they draw wrong conclusions from a limited set of experiences. This is what happened when our twin son, Kent, who drew the conclusion that the barber had given his daddy a "circle-haircut" style when it was actually a bald spot by nature, and so he requested that the barber give him the same style of haircut, thinking the barber was responsible for the "style" of haircut his daddy had. Through the years, we have found humor in his unusual request and would like to share it with others who may have a little boy who also has drawn the wrong conclusion or perhaps those who enjoy the same humor we have through the years. We still laugh about this. The day this occurred, my husband came home chuckling at the request our son had made to the barber, and the barber was very amused by it also. The above part of this story is an actual experience, and the rest of the book is fiction. He did not get the "circle haircut" in real life, but he does in the book. Follow father, son, and grandfather at the experiences they might have had.

This book is simple, informative, and transformative all at once. Williams has once again used his exquisite insightfulness to transcend many of the blockades and excuses often used to avoid taking the responsibility and courage necessary for individuals to first look deeply, earnestly and honestly at “self,” before looking outward at others when seeking to effect lasting and meaningful change. His belief that the first and most significant step to our long journey outward always begins with the first truthful step inward is evident throughout this writing. While each teaching is independent of the ones to follow or precede it, each of them is powerful and highly applicable as a stand-alone self-improvement tool. If growing yourself (and not the entire world) is your objective, then this is the book for you. No one, Williams says, changes the world for the better until he or she first concedes that effective change must begin with self and work outward from there. It is obvious that this book is intended to serve as a self-paced guide and companion along the readers’ growth route, and not merely as a tool of instruction to be read, laid aside, and forgotten.
