The November issue of ParentMap focuses on family, fun and giving back. While giving back can be simple, there are also some people who go all out to do it. Our feature shines a light on one of those people. Rob Kenney is a “dad” to millions thanks to his YouTube channel, “Dad, How Do I?” where he teaches more than just life skills to his many followers.

We also dive into pools in this issue because the rainy season is here to stay — for a few months anyway. Check out our monthly play list and neighborhood spotlight for even more ideas of things to do around our region. 

Also on the docket is a look at the healing power of music. And of course, our annual gift guide — a carefully curated, parent-picked list of this year’s top toys — is tucked in too. Trust me, it’ll make your holiday shopping easier than ever.
