Hands like Daddy's. Home to stay.Written by Ron Smith, who grew up in his family's HVAC business and has spent his career advising owners of family-run businesses, this is a bedtime book for trades families everywhere.Book One of the Hands Like... series from Cordis House.For children ages 3-7. A read-aloud favorite for working dads and the kids who wait for them at the door.
