Musicians John Luzzi and Don Miggs Publish Real-Talk Parenting Guide for New Dads
SEATTLE, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- When musician John Luzzi found out his wife was pregnant, he did what any panicked father-to-be would do: he called his bandmate Don Miggs, already a father of two, for advice. The thirty-two-page document Don sent in response, which incorporated feedback from famous dads and close friends alike, revealed a crucial truth: veteran dads have whole chapters-worth of knowledge the parenting books never mention.
Enter Dads Know Best (Mascot Books, 2019), a real-talk book about parenting chalk-full of all the stuff nobody who knows you personally has the heart to tell you. From navigating epic diaper blowouts to learning about the wonderful world of nipples, John Luzzi and Don Miggs have collated honest advice about bringing your child into the world—and keeping them there.
"Don and I have been working in music together for years," writes Luzzi—a Seattle native who serves as the singer for COUSIN in addition to playing guitar with Don in the self-titled rock band Miggs. "We have different views, tastes, and approaches. Most people would think that wouldn't work, but our perspectives came together to create a well-rounded outlook…and some stories about our kids we just can't make up."
The dads are firm believers in leading by example, sharing funny, sometimes-horrifying anecdotes from their own individual parenting misadventures, but dirty truths aren't the only thing this book has to offer. Thanks in part to Miggs's recording career and tenure as host of the Tampa-based radio show Miggs and Swig, every chapter begins with an epigraph from a dad you probably know, including famous musicians John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) and Tom Higgenson (Plain White T's) and celebrity chefs Tyler Florence (Worst Cooks in America) and Guy Fieri (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives). Not to be outdone, Luzzi and Miggs end with a top ten list of parenting truths every new father needs to hear, reminding us that the journey is worth every challenge along the way.
Dads Know Best is the first in the Know Best Books series. "With more books on the way, we're knee-deep in ideas," Miggs writes. "Musicians Know Best? Single Friends Know Best? Who Knows Best? The possibilities are endless."
