I’m thrilled to announce that the cover my new book—Good Grandpa: Stories from the heart of grandfatherhood—has been finalized.
The cover for Good Grandpa, designed by Kris Collins.
The design is in the form of a photo mosaic, like a family album, showing some of the wide range of grandfathers I interviewed in the course of writing the book, including famed newsman Tom Brokaw. The book will be published in September 2025, timed for Grandparents Day, by Regalo Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
Here’s a video that tells the story of the book (produced by the great Doug Feinburg).
I am deeply grateful to all the grandfathers who took the time to talk with me. This included grandfather leaders of the world’s major religions, military veterans, pro athletes and many more. Their wonderful stories and wisdom formed an unforgettable tapestry that I hope will be seen by many grandparents in the US and around the world.
I also believe the book will be of value to young people, especially young parents.
Time and again the grandfathers I spoke with said, “I’m going to tell you something I wish I’d known 40 years ago.” I think it’s really important for people in their 20s and 30s to learn these things NOW so they can live a better life and help us create a better world. In a time when there is a lot of darkness and hate, the book will provide some welcome rays of hope.
Be sure to sign up for the Good Grandpa newsletter so you can find out when the book is available for pre-order this spring. This is fun!
