The fathers met at the group Dads' Time in Croydon, London. They wrote the book after attending a storybook project as part of the Government-funded Every Child a Talker project.
The book, Dads' Time Tales, has been produced with funding from the Croydon Adult Learning and Training Service and the Pre-school Learning Alliance. It will be distributed free within the borough.
