Every president has had some experience as a father or mother. Of the 43 men who have served in the nation's highest office, 38 have fathered natural children, and the other five followed children. Each president's parenting style shows much about his beliefs as well as his subconscious makeup. Wayne Garfield appreciated jumping on the bed along with his kids.

In the lively narrative based on research in archives around the country, Kendall shows presidential character in action. Listeners will learn which type of father or mother might be best suited to leading the American people and, finally, the way the fathering experiences of your presidents have permanently changed the course of American history.
