About the Book

Congratulations! We bet you haven’t heard that before. Everyone’s probably been congratulating you for a while now. After all, you’re getting to meet a person you helped make. That’s exciting, but it’s also sh*t-your-pants terrifying. Before, you were only responsible for finding the best deal on beer at the grocery store, but dads have real responsibilities. Like keeping a person alive, for example. Don’t worry though: this kind of insanity is normal. You’re not alone.

Dads Know Best--the first book in the Know Best series--is a real-talk book about parenting. No sugar-coating. No pandering. No clichés. Just honest advice from two fathers who did everything wrong but ended up getting it right. From navigating epic diaper blowouts, to managing pregnancy cravings, to learning about the wonderful world of nipples, Don Miggs and John Luzzi have you covered. They’ll teach you how to be there for your baby mama and take care of your kid without losing your mind in the process. After all, they know best.

About the Authors

John Luzzi

Born and raised in Seattle, WA, John Luzzi is no stranger to the music scene. He first started playing music when he was just five years old, and it has since been his driving passion. He is a singer/songwriter and half of the band COUSIN, who just released their first EP in early 2017. He’s also toured extensively over the last few years as the guitarist in Miggs (Elm City/ Capitol), supporting the likes of Scott Weiland, Candlebox, Royal Bliss, and many others. He’s been the guitarist for bands like Love on the Rocks, Phantoms, and the Dan Purser Band, as well as Lotus Crush alongside Candlebox guitarist Peter Klett and drummer Scott Mercado. He regularly collaborates and performs with good friends Terry McDermott (The Voice), Blake Lewis (American Idol), Andrew Joslyn (Macklemore), and Mark Rodriguez (52nd Street Productions). When he’s not on the road, he’s either locked in his home studio writing new music, collaborating with other artists, or spending time with his wife Trisha and son Cruz.

Don Miggs

Don Miggs isn’t an author, but he plays one in the Know Best book series. His love of giving his opinion works well for this, as well as for his day job as a songwriter, producer, performer, and co-host of the Miggs & Swig radio show on 102.5 FM “The Bone” in Tampa Bay, Florida. Fueled by the love of his wife, Lisa, and their two boys, Milo and Jasper, Don believes he can do most anything he tries and they’ll be there when he falls flat on his face.

Review

Let me start this review off by being hyper critical for a minute here. When you are writing a book, there are some words that shouldn't be used in a book...especially about parenting. For instance, "Baby mama." That word promotes bad relationships but let's try to get through this. There is also so much derogative language in this book, it would be a surprise to see the book anywhere at all.

I am sorry... wait!! I have to stop being so polite sometimes. I understand that a point is trying to be made, but sometimes you have to realize when enough, is enough. There is a lot of advice in " Dad's know best" but I would not recommend this book to my worst enemy as a gift.
