Writing Together to Build a Strong Bond with Mike Schrettenbrunner & His Daughters

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke with Mike Schrettenbrunner and his daughters Leni and Libby. Mike and his girls share with us the story of the book the three of them wrote together and what this has done to connect with other families.

4 years ago Mike decided to sit down and build a story with his daughters who were in 1st and 4th grade at the time.  As Mike said, it was just a goofy idea, something that they could do together. Plus, it would help his youngest daughter who was just learning to put sentences together.

That activity turned into a published book named Pumpkin Head Tom and Mummy Mary.  It has turned his kids and himself into published coauthors and specifically turned his daughters into content creators, video mixers and presenters to small children.

As Mike shared “Dads all across the land can do this too”.
