My Dad the Fireman - Paperback

My Dad the Firefighter is a narrative about an African American firefighter as recounted through memoirs from his adoring son, Breyden. The book speaks to the day to day challenges his father faces as a firefighter while balancing the family. This is the first offering from the Hero Book Series, which highlights the real-life heroes that live outside of the spotlight. Shawn Bridges is a teacher and mentor who has passionate about writing and drawing since he began reading comic books with his dad on Saturday mornings. Shawn has a Bachelor's Degree in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University as well as a Master's in Student Personnel Services. He is a very involved father of two energetic boys who share his love of books and sports. Shawn is currently a middle school teacher, coach, and mentor. His passion to write was fueled by his desire to help children of all ethnic backgrounds to recognize the heroes in their daily lives. He also hopes this book encourages families to spend time reading together creating lasting memories.
