Read To Me Dad

I Am Not Weird – A Read To Me, Dad Review

10 Comments

My friend Kevin Metzger, whom I just met yesterday in real life for the first time but whom I have talked to numerous times online in the past year or so, sent me two copies of his daughter Haley’s book, “I Am Not Weird”. I decided that I would review the book here on BenSpark.com rather than on Read To Me, Dad because eventually I am going to pull that blog and the content there over here and do more view reviews with Eva and books for Children here. I’m going to stop spreading myself and my content across the web and off you content here in one place. So if you want to just read the Read To Me Dad stuff then that is cool you can still go to http://readtomedad.com but it will point here to the Read To Me Dad category. Here is the view review of the book.

Haley’s book is a wonderful one written by a strong intelligent courageous child. As a father I am blown away by this book and how much self confidence and self awareness Haley must have at such a young age. I also enjoyed that She signed Eva’s copy. Here is the link to purchase the book – http://myspellingsucks.com/weird/

Oh yes, the second copy. I am giving that away to a lucky reader.

Disclosure: – I received my copies of I Am Not Weird for free however all opinions on the book and the reactions as we read the book are 100% authentic and our own.

The video was shot on the versatile Kodak PlaySport camera that I received for free to film the Roger Williams Paddle back in July. I’ve quickly made it my favorite video camera and in a pinch still camera.

Conferences

A Conversation with Kevin Metzger about #M3Summit

Kevin Metzger and I are both speaking at the Modern Media Man Summit in Atlanta September 9-11. We decided to do a Skype Video chat together about the conference but for some reason it wasn’t recorded properly. Luckily I use G-Recorder and it captured the Audio. Kevin captured a very flattering photo of me from the video that I’ll use instead and no, we did not coordinate our outfits, what would have been worse would be if I was wearing my black BenSpark.com shirt. LOL

Here is our conversation, it is a quick one, under 20 minutes. Listen during your lunch hour.

Kevin is the man behind the Dadvocate Project. I hope that you check it out along with the charity organization Let’s Cure CP. Kevin has partnered with the Modern Media Man Summit to raise funds for the organization and your purchase of an M3 ticket could mean a lot to this organization. Here is the link to the different purchase options that will help Let’s Cure CP. (Don’t let the price scare you, just select the option that you want and remove the others by changing the quantity and clicking update before you buy your tickets. A full conference pass will get $200 donated to Let’s Cure CP.
