Son-in-law loves it

My son in law really likes it. This is his first baby and this helps him understand a lot of stuff he never thought of. It makes him feel more included

Great read

I bought both of these books for my partner and he loves them!

Incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive take on the Dad Journal genre.

This is an incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive spin on the Dad journal genre! The amount of detail that has gone into this journal is astounding. It's incredibly helpful for first time dads but I could even see a second or third time dad getting great use out of this. Anything that you might forget to account or plan for, this journal has god you covered!
