Overworked, underpaid and constantly in need of feeding, dads deserve just as much attention, validation and an equal share of the duvet as moms, and yet often have to settle for second best.

Little Book of Dad is a celebration of dad-hood, daddy-ing and all the dad-based shenanigans that comes with it. And it couldn't be more timely.

In 2020, as a study showed that "dad bods" are more desirable than six-pack abs, Welbeck Books decided it was time to give props to the parent most likely to lose their children in the supermarket a book that dads can be proud to call their own. Consider this tiny tome a bedside companion for exhausted dads of all strange shapes, sizes and smells, which, last time we looked, was all of them.
