The Reluctant Father

Don't get me wrong. I'm a ridiculously devoted parent... I am present emotionally, financially and superficially (their favorite version). But kids are aliens. Phillip is right. People who devote their lives to their children (you know humblebragging through every situation -- even the most grown-up kinds), are insufferable. This is an honest description of dealing with the alien and eventually realizing they belong. His pictures are gorgeous. How words are honest. And his relationship with his wife is handled with the most beautiful longing. Nice work Phillip.

I ordered this book because the little girl looks like & reminded me of my cousin (now a mom herself) when she was little.I was initially intrigued by the People write-up it received.It's a cute book, lighthearted and funny and sweet.Love the photos, the craziness of the dad's "humor" in printing screaming baby photo plates, and the Mom's chill response to it all (isn't that how it always is?)

This photobook works best side by side with the photographers other project, days with my father. The photographies are intimate and some funny but not quite representative for mr Toledanos best work.

I bought this book for my husband after we had our first baby. I wanted to add some light humor to all the crying! It is a quick read - 10 minutes and it's over - but it's nice to leave on the coffee table as a reminder.

This book was a gift to my son who loves his new son, but strruggles with the major adjustment of moving from young adult to father. The book was honest and laid out the framework for a new father to build his esteem and abilities.

Great picture book and a must read for new dads

I appreciate how the author feels and that he wanted to share those feelings. It is mostly a photographic picture book.

Congratulations to Phillip on writing a book that created much discussion. Hopefully this will cement parenting with loving children forever..

Love it! This book is stunningly put together and very honest. Based on the brilliant works of Phillip Toledano becoming a first time Dad and not quite grasping that wave of Father instincts that every new Dad is suppose to feel. It's stunning watching his relationship with his new born develope through the use of Photography. I really can't recommend this book enough!

Im really in love with the book. Amazing photos and very very very good story telling. Recommend it to everyone one.

Beautiful work! Brilliant, sensitive and sincere.

It's exactly what you can find in the web, but well printed in a small format. Which means that the experience is amazing compared to the book.I recommend it strongly. Beautiful, great text, great pictures.

Spedizione velocissima e libro assolutamente da acquistare: le fotografie sono splendide e così come per Days with my father, Toledano riesce sempre a raccontare emozioni vere, senza filtri ed inutili ipocrisie. Assolutamente consigliato come regalo per i futuri padri (io l'ho regalato al mio compagno al mio terzo mese di gravidanza e ci siamo divertiti molto a sfogliarlo e leggerlo)
