Pancake Dad

Pancake Dad is a delightfully illustrated read-aloud book featuring a dad whose Saturday tradition is to make pancakes with his children in order to spend time together. They use this opportunity to bond and have fun. When they are done making pancakes, they always serve Mom breakfast in bed, because she works so hard during the week. Finally, when everything is done and Mom has been served breakfast, Pancake Dad and his children sit down to eat together. Pancake Dad uses pancakes and cooking as a way to bond with his children and create positive memories.

Centered on a strong relationship between the father and his three children, the story also touches on the importance of communication, responsibilities within a family, and familial ties. The author seeks to inspire fathers to prioritize quality time with their children by presenting a model of a loving and engaged father. Too often fathers are absent, not because they are not in the house, but because they are so preoccupied with taking care of everything else.

The theme of this book, and this series, is to encourage dads to create alone time with their children so they can bond, get to know each other, and create wonderful memories together.

About the Author
Gordon, Ken: - Ken Gordon is the father of four adulting children. Previously, working as a youth minister, he created programs to help children learn self-respect and temperance, as well as reinforce the value of education and purpose in their lives. His wish is for all fathers to become more engaged and involved with their children, creating memories and special times. That was his inspiration for writing this children's series, along with modeling what being a loving and engaged dad looks like. He believes it is a father's responsibility-and his greatest joy-to create positive memories for his family, and who can argue that yummy food is always a great place to start?

Ken and his wife are empty nesters. It was his wife's idea for him to write a children's book. The couple lives in Birmingham, AL, along with their chocolate Cockapoo, Cinco.
