attention... You must be dad! You're probably pretty busy. Being a
dad isn't easy. Maybe you already know this. Maybe you will soon.

you haven't. And if you have a little one on the way you might feel
a little anxious. Maybe even a bit scared. There's a lot to prepare
and plan. Because, let's face it - being a dad is a huge
responsibility. But, it's worth it. Now the real fun begins. From
new dads to those who've been around the block, dads who go to work
to those who are at home, and all the dads in between, You're Dad

and the triumphs. Perfect for dads, the dad-like, any and all
parents and the people who love them, this sweet collection of
