As the husband of a hardworking woman who is fully immersed in her work, I am often referred to as the “mom” of our daughter in our household. Reading this book, I found myself connecting deeply with the quotes attributed to a mother, and I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that “dads make good moms too”. As parents of a growing child, we experience many ups and downs in life. This book offers guidance on how to overcome challenges and live in the moment. It also prepares parents for the inevitable moment when their children become more independent and the sweet scent of the newborn becomes a distant memory. It helps us  imagine what our homes will be like without our most beloved family member. I also strongly believe at times, that children should come with a manual and a pause button, as the book suggests.
